Salutations

I have a newly installed 1.3.2 system which works fine, but I can't add users
successfully :(

The user is added, but is unable to login and it is not possible to su to the
user!
When attempting to login, the message

    user <user> has no home directory /<path>/<user>!

even though the directory exists.

This occurs whether the user is added manually by editing /etc/passwd, creating
the home directory and running pwd_mkdb or added using the adduser script(which
creates the home directory correctly) - and the location of the new home
directory does not seem to make any difference.

I should point out that since I have an ICS IDE interface in my machine, I am
using one of the test kernels posted by Mark a while ago - I don't know if this
has any bearing

Any help gratefully accepted :)

TIA
Dave
