hey, guys, I am a Kali newbie and a Linux newbie as well.
i`ve tried to make new user using nano command (/etc/passwd, /etc/group),
chown command for giving ownership of /home/user1 folder, etc.
everything was ok on other distributions (xubuntu, etc.) but I have a problem here in Kali
while trying to set a password to that user.
instead of password changes i have an error:
authentication token manipulation error
i see that for the first time.
1) I`ve tried to reboot it,
2) checked root permissions for /etc/shadow file,
3) entered a PAM (Pluggable Authentication Modules) menu
with pam-auth-update
(tried all options)
4) and finally used "mount -rw -o remount /"
but I still have that problem.
is there anyone who know what else I could try, please?
I really tried everything I`ve found on web before posting this thread.
Thank you!
