af09 Posted November 19, 2003 Report Share Posted November 19, 2003 I had a messy install of 9.2 that never allowed me to set a root password (so now it is null!). When I logged in change the password with the passwd command, it allowed me to input the new pass but came back with "passwd: User not known to the underlying authentication module" I googled that error and found lots of stuff, but I didn't see anything where someone couldnt change root (just couldnt change created user's passwords). Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks -Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liquidzoo Posted November 19, 2003 Report Share Posted November 19, 2003 Still sounds like you had a bad burn on those cd's. I would try what I had advised in your last post and re-burn those cd's at a slower speed to see if that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
