User Accounts

Hi -

I just installed Solaris 10 from cd. Logged in as root. Created a user account and setup the password with "passwd". I then logged out and tried to login with the new user account but no luck. It acts like its going to log me in then takes me to the text screen and then back to the login screen. It does not say incorrect password or nothing. Any help?

as root, take the new account for a spin by:

su - username

If it dumps you into the user's home directory, check the ownership of the directory and permissions -- maybe the user cannot write to it's own directory.

Maybe the ~home directory didn't get created?

Just some ideas....
