I was given the task below. I believe the consultant runs software on his laptop that probes our QA tier web servers for xxx The two web servers are xxx
I attempt useradd command on XXX which seems to work, but when I attempt to assign a pwd, the OS denies it and says user doesn't exist.
I look in /etc/shadow and /etc/passwd and the 'xxxxxx' acct is not found. ( / root partition is not 100%.)
I do the same command on the other server and it works as designed: new acct exists and pwd can be modified.
I've looked in /var/adm logs for some type of error, but I don't see any.
Help appreciated
