Subject: can't create users under openvz container
Colleagues,
I've just run into another issue. I'm using Owl from the recent -current
ISO both for the HN and for the VPS; the O.S. template have been created
following the instructions found on this list's archives (thanks Galaxy!),
here: http://www.openwall.com/lists/owl-users/2007/05/08/2
Unfortunately I'm using a kernel taken right from openvz.org, not the
Openwall one, because I couln't find the OpenVZ kernel at the Openwall ftp
site.
The VPS runs, procesess seem Okay, it pings and can be accessed by ssh,
but simple useradd command fails like this:
varan101!root:~# useradd -u 1000 crocodil
useradd: cannot lock shadow password file
varan101!root:~#
Using strace I see the following:
open("/etc/tcb/crocodil/shadow.lock",
O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_NOCTTY|O_NONBLOCK|O_NOFOLLOW, 0600) = -1 EACCES
(Permission denied)
The kernel version is this:
Linux XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX 2.6.18-ovz028stab056.1 #1 Mon Aug 18 13:00:29 MSD
2008 i686 GNU/Linux
May be this is a known iissue? What am I doing wrong?
