Dear list, I have done some more reading through documentations after my last post to this list about the strange loss if user login data on my auth server. I am now able to pin down the problem to keyfs. I have started over by - overwriting my nvram with bla - truncating the /adm/keys file with echo '' > /adm/keys - rebooting, filling in password and secstore phrase - killing keyfs - starting auth/keyfs on the server console - creating new keys with auth/changeuser for bootes and another user - rebooting After that I am able to log in as bootes but not the other user (the user is present on the fossil filesystem) When I now kill/restart keyfs on the server keyfs prints the following warnings: % auth/keyfs keyfs: warning: bad status in key file keyfs: warning: bad status in key file keyfs: warning: bad status in key file 4 keys read 1. Shouldn't there be only 2 keys as I have added 2 users? 2. When trying to auth/debug the user login still fails 3. lc /mnt/keys displays garbage Any hints?
