[SPlissken]

Hi all

I have upgraded from 7.2 to 8.0 and i have this issue when
trying to change password

[splissken@SPFreeBSD ~]$ passwd splissken
Changing local password for splissken
Old Password:
New Password:
Retype New Password:
passwd: entry inconsistent
passwd: pam_chauthtok(): error in service module

Second issue
And even if in /etc/master.passwd for my user i have this

splissken:$1$*******:1001:1001::0:0:splissken:/home/splissken:/usr/local/bin/bash

Bash is not defaulted when connecting or opening a terminal

Thanks for any help

shells/bash not installed?

I highly doubt that bash is issue here. Do you've multiple entries for the same user in master.passwd. Run vipw and remove all multiple entries except one.

bash is there , i can use it
And no multiple entries in master.passwd

 

[SPlissken]

Well , i did rmuser then adduser and both issues are gone
Thanks for answer

It's all about permission

Check it out with the mount command. It must be as read only. If you are trying to update your password from the terminal you should remount as rw first:
# mount -o rw -u /

Then you can use passwd to set a new password.
