Nonuser in SCO

Nonuser in SCO

Post by Paul Casse » Wed, 05 Jun 2002 04:37:27



Hi Group,
    I'm running SCO UNIX 5 and have recently been getting an error msg on
boot that 'nonuser' isn't in the passwd file. I also can't run the Account
Manager in SCOADMIN. It fails after launch. At the bottom of this message is
the text of the error log.
    We had some power problems in this room (UPS failed) over the last
weekend which, I suppose knocked something out. I shut the system down, then
put it on a good UPS then booted when I noted this error message and also
noted that I can't get into Account Manager. I suppose I need to add this
nonuser account to some file, but have no idea how to proceed. Any
suggestions? Please keep in mind that I'm only nursing this system along for
a bit longer until we move to a new hosted system where I'll not have
sysadmin duties. My training isn't in UNIX (I'm self taught). I'm over on
the NT side of things, but do need to keep this running for a bit longer.
None of the manuals I have mention this nonuser business so I'm unsure if
these are related problems. I only know that the two problems occurred at
the same time. Thanks for any ideas.

1. biz.sco.* replaced by comp.unix.sco.*; biz.sco.* newsgroups removed.

I've issued the cmsg's removing the old biz.sco.* hierarchy
which was superseded by comp.unix.sco.* back in April.

The old companion mailing lists have been torn down.  All valid
addresses on the old mailing lists were moved to the corresponding
new ones for comp.unix.sco.* upon their creation.

For details, please see the periodically posted FAQ:
