Password error
When I "adduser" I assign user id, home, password and name.
When I try to login as this user it says the password is incorrect.
If I go in as "root" and set a new password for the user I can then login as that user without error.
What is causing the initial password to be improperly written?
I am running unix-linux 1.3-RedHat 7.2

NWBPRM(8) nwbprm NWBPRM(8)
NAME
nwbprm - Remove a NetWare Bindery Propery
SYNOPSIS
nwbprm [ -h ] [ -S server ] [ -U user name ] [ -P password | -n ] [ -C ] [ -o object name ] [ -t type ] [ -p property ]
DESCRIPTION
nwbprm removes the specified NetWare Bindery Propery.
nwbprm looks up the file $HOME/.nwclient to find a file server, a user name and possibly a password. See nwclient(5) for more information.
Please note that the access permissions of $HOME/.nwclient MUST be 600 for security reasons.
OPTIONS
-h
-h is used to print out a short help text.
-S server
server is the name of the server you want to use.
-U user
user is the user name to use for login.
-P password
password is the password to use for login. If neither -n nor -P are given, and the user has no open connection to the server, nwbprm
prompts for a password.
-n
-n should be given if no password is required for the login.
-C
By default, passwords are converted to uppercase before they are sent to the server, because most servers require this. You can turn off
this conversion by -C.
-o object name
The name of the object to be touched.
-t object type
The type of the object. Object type must be specified as a decimal value. Common values are 1 for user objects, 2 for group objects and
3 for print queues. Other values are allowed, but are usually used for specialized applications.
-p property
The name of the property to be removed.
