May 25, 201016 yr Hello all, I'm running a slackware-based unraid install (so maybe this isn't the right forum to post), and I'm having trouble adding users. I've enabled user-level security, but when I try to add a user, the page simply 'reloads', with no user added. I use no 'illegal characters' (according to wiki) in username or password, however the next entries Do appear in syslog; May 25 14:42:05 blackbox emhttp: _shcmd: shcmd (145): exit status: 4 May 25 14:42:05 blackbox emhttp: _shcmd: shcmd (146): exit status: 1 May 25 14:42:05 blackbox emhttp: _shcmd: shcmd (147): exit status: 1 I'm guessing that I did something wrong during the install-to-hdd part and I was hoping someone could point out where, and if necessary, scold me for it

May 25, 201016 yr Author Hehe, that would be my guess as well. Question is: which one? I expect one of them to be smbpasswd, but it's both present in /boot/config as in /usr/bin.
May 25, 201016 yr Author Found it. Appearntly the actually error itself was outputted to the monitor. "useradd: uid 1000 is not unique" Followed by errors from chpasswd and (I guess) smbpasswd. Which is true, since I already added a user account for pulseaudio and xbmc. After removing the account with uid 1000, I could succesfully add a user through the webinterface. Does this qualify as a bug? Or is the amount of people who actually add users themselves too insignificant to matter?
May 25, 201016 yr You probably did not update the copies of the password files unRAID keeps when you added your own users. I think it uses those copies as a starting point when it goes to add new users. (The copies are kept in the config folder)
