I installed 8.2 clean last night, set passwords for arklinux and root, then proceeded to apt-get dist-upgrade. Afterwards, I added a new user and attempted to set a password for it, but was given the error: passwd: module is unknown looking in /var/log/messages reveals that PAM is trying to load a 'faulty' module "/lib/security/pam_smbpass.so" which has an undefined symbol 'sidmap_attr_list' chances are, removing the PAM entry for samba would probably fix it, but we need to figure out how to prevent this. Steps of installation: -Installed base Ark 1.0 alpha 8.2. -set passwords for arklinux and root -Installed the 'extra software' cd. -Performed an apt-get -f install -Performed an apt-get dist-upgrade. -Installed the developer CD -Attempted to add a new user and set it's password - failure Attempts to resolve the problem: -rpm -e --nodeps samba -apt-get -f install samba not fixed edited /etc/pam.d/system-auth and commented out the require line for pam_smbpass.so fixed the problem. Dunno why it's got unresolved symbols, but until that gets resolved, commenting out the require line (or not requiring samba for PAM at all) fixes it.
