From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041020 Firefox/0.10.1 Description of problem: This is not really a bug with setools package. It's an installer bug related to selinux. I'm not too familiar with red hat, so please bear with me. I selected the default selinux config while installing. Then, everything finished, and I think I've created a user account after the final steps when booting the first time. However, I can't login. There is a homedir but no password entry. Then, I try to use useradd command which says it cannot write to the password file. I turn off selinux and after reboot I'm able to add a user account. Expected: whatever I choose, the user addition stuff must work after install. Regards. -- Eray Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install FC/3, selecting selinux options (default) 2. When booting first time, enter information for a user account 3. Try to login with that account Actual Results: I couldn't login. No authentication information created. Expected Results: I should have been able to login. Additional info:
We are not seeing this here. Could you attach any AVC messages that show up in your /var/log/messages file? Are you installing on a different type of file system? Where is your home directory located? Dan
