Hi UniRock,

Are you creating a NEW user with UID 0.....or this is an OLD/existing user??

[Ganesan R]

Hi,

Never create a user with uid 0.

Think if you remove the user later point of time along with user owned files delete option. It delete all the root owned files as well.

So it is not recommanded to have user with uid 0

Hi,

After deleteing the * save the file
give passwd test

Hello All,

Removing * from below line solved the issue :)
u_pwd=*:\ <<<======

Actually first I tried this and failed.
u_pwd= :\ <<=== space before colon

Later, I tried this and succeeded.
u_pwd=:\ <<<==== no space before colon.


================================
Thanks all of you specially Suraj and Avizen.

Sometimes, along with the soluton, we require advice also.
Thanks Ganeshan for your valuable suggestion.
