[ale] crypt? passwd? faulty package?

[artic_knight at yahoo.com (Stephen Turner)]

am i supposed to get a passwd from crypt or something? im sorry, i must be
a complete idiot or have a faulty package somewhere, i just cant get a new
user to work! ive read man pages and tried the options, even tried
different orders as if that might matter, i dont wanna run the system in
root but im thinking ive got no choice! i can allways su into my new users
but i cant change thier passwords cause they dont seem to be valid, which
stops me from logging in as them.
