Hi all,

 

I can not add new user through web interface. I type User name, Password, Retype password and press button Add user. Page is refresh but new user not between old useres.

 

I connect to UnRaid server through telnet and list users:

 

cat /etc/passwd

 

In list new user not added.

 

Any ideas why can't I add new user through web interface ?

 

 

Thanks for any answer

Whenever this happened to me it was because I attempted to use an upper case character in the user name.

 

Although linux allows allows mixed characters in the user-name, I'm not sure the web-interface does.  (At the time I was trying to out in an ID/Password for my media player.  I thought it had a hard coded "Media" "gate" as the ID/password...(with an upper case "M")  Eventually I figured out it could use all lower case to log in.  In any case, my web-interface acted as you described.  Not sure if this was ever the real issue, but at the time, it looked that way to me.

 

Because Tom is using the Linux shell to invoke the commands to add a user, there are a number of other disallowed characters as well.

See this entry in the wiki: http://lime-technology.com/wiki/index.php?title=FAQ#What_characters_are_not_legal_in_an_unRAID_password.3F

 

So... two possibilities...  Did your ID/Password have any of the characters mentioned?

I add user with name - petra. All is lowercase. I not use any upper case.

 

Any other ideas?

Did you use any of the characters described in the wiki in the password?

I add user with name - petra. All is lowercase. I not use any upper case.

 

Any other ideas?

Did you use any of the characters described in the wiki in the password?

 

Name of user:

petra

 

Password is empty or all are only in alpha lowercase or standard letter in ASCII range in 97-122 (HEX 0x61-0x7A).

 

I have users:

root + next 3 users with type as lowercase and latters are in ASCII range 97-122 - all is with password

 

Any other ideas? This is really problem. Why?

 

Thanks for any answer

Nothing resolution?

 

This is a problem. I can't add new useres. I have Pro version of UnRaid server.

 

 

 

Thanks for any answer

I suggest you contact the official support if you need an answer faster than your getting here on the community support.

Please post your syslog after having tried to add a user.

I send syslogs - before add user and after add user.

Ropo: you are not using a stock unRAID, you appear to have installed a set of scripts and packages, that are altering the startup and may not be installing correctly.  I suggest you wait for WeeboTech to take a look at your syslog.

 

WeeboTech:  would you take a look at his syslog (the after one).  There are several lines about files and folders within the /boot/config/etc/ folder, and I suspect that may not be correct.  You might start with line 416.  There a few libs that don't look like they installed completely either.

After I can add user then in syslog is added this status:

 

Sep 30 16:23:40 Tower emhttp: shcmd (20): useradd -d / -g petra -s /bin/false -u 1003 petra
Sep 30 16:23:40 Tower emhttp: shcmd: shcmd (20): exit status: 4
Sep 30 16:23:40 Tower emhttp: shcmd (21): chpasswd <<< petra:
Sep 30 16:23:40 Tower emhttp: shcmd: shcmd (21): exit status: 1
Sep 30 16:23:40 Tower emhttp: shcmd (22): smbpasswd -L -s -a petra <<< $'\n'
Sep 30 16:23:40 Tower emhttp: shcmd: shcmd (22): exit status: 1
Sep 30 16:23:40 Tower emhttp: shcmd (23): cp /etc/passwd /etc/samba/private/smbpasswd /boot/config

 

Where can be a problem?

 

Some of these items should probably be disabled as they are copied verbatim and are not really used.

 

make a bak directory and move these files into it.

 

S02-sync-etc

This may be causing a conflict with the passwd file.

 

These are running, but packages are not being installed because they do not exist.

S20-init.proftpd

S20-init.sshd

 

This should not be done unless you want to add very specific users and settings at every startup.

S75-useradds

 

also, you could try logging in via telnet and entering this command to see what message it reveals

 

useradd -d / -g petra -s /bin/false -u 1003 petra

 

do a

cat /etc/passwd

to see if it was updated.

Problem is resolved.

 

I am removed from flash:

S20-init.proftpd

S20-init.sshd

S75-useradds

 

And I am modify "passwd" file in /etc and /boot/config

 

Problem was in "passwd" file. In /boot/config/passwd was save users "local" ang "guest" with id 1003 and 1004.

 

If I am can add users then UnRaid server assign for new user id 1003. This is was error.

 

Thnanks for all, guys!
