      Hello All!              I have been having problems using mbse with Mageia v4 (& v3) since migrating       over from Mandriva 2011 in that for any new user (connecting to the system       using telnet) having entered username with the system creating the linux and       bbs account then requests password the password setup fails with a shadow file       busy. This is not the case as when testing for it via "sudo lsof | grep       shadow" produces nothing.              So the question - would ALL mbse sysops please report here what Distro       including version they are using and what mbse version and confirm if that        have       had new users registering since using along with the date (MM/YY) of last       registered user.              If you have not had anyone since setup please provide your BBS contact details       and I will try via telnet, or you can do a test yourself again (using telnet       localhost etc) and set up a test user and let me know.              If others are suffering from the same problem then we need to take a close        look       at the code that deals with this and fix it!                            Vince              --- Mageia Linux v4/Mbse v1.0.4/GoldED+/LNX 1.1.5-b20130910        * Origin: Air Applewood, The Linux Gateway to the UK (2:250/1)    |
