[WBEL-users] Can't telnet into box with user account, problems changing password

[Michael Salsman]

I found an anomaly with the /etc/shadow file.  The
password that I had used in creating the login was in
clear text.  I logged in as root, did a "passwd
username", entered the password when prompted, which
it successfully changed.  I then looked at
/etc/shadow, and there was an encrypted string for my
password.

I was then able to telnet to the boxes as "username"
and log in successfully.

Thanks for the responses from everyone.
