Creating Users with SMC

chaandana · #1 (**permalink**) 06-25-2007

Hi,

I tried to create a user test1 using SMC and its only partially created with following errors:

Jun 25 13:44:54 wasana WBEM_Logging_Service[1976]: [ID 271785 daemon.error] The alias for user test1 could not be created. This indicates an error accessing the alias table. The error was null.
Jun 25 13:44:54 wasana WBEM_Logging_Service[1976]: [ID 661884 daemon.error] User test1 was partially added to the system. See the error log for further details.

This is a Solaris 10 env on an Ultra 5.
Hope you could give me a clue !

Thanks
Chaandana

Hello Chaandana, this sounds like a permission issue, are you root when executing this, or does some of the folders where the user will be created need to have certain permissions ? And also, as the error is suggesting, what the log says about it ?

Thanks Sysgate!

I was root and those were the only logs entries I've got.
Specially, the home dir path is rw enabled for all.

Cheers!
