As I wrote, it’s passwd command for kokamoto

Sorry, however, if I could do it, I’ll never face this problem, I think.

or passwd.

I tried both.

>the passwd method will fail when the -N flag to authsrv

is set but there are no aes keys set for the user yet!

Yes, I think this the problem I faqcing.

When I see /mnt/keys/kokamoto, there are several files, however,

Which file sizes are all zero.

>temporarily remove the -N flag from

/rc/bin/service.auth/tcp567

I tried this.

1) remove -N frag from /rc/bin/service.auth/tcp567

2) reboot the auth/file/cpu server

3) auth/changeuser comman for kokamoto

4) of course, now I can login from a terminal, I tested.

5) Now add -N flag on tcp567 above

6) reboot the auth/file/cpu server

7) tried to login myselef from a terminal

8) the terminal says

              ….

              Post…

              !Adding key: dom=xxxxx proto=dp9ik

              User[kokamoto]

9) then, I input password of myself

10) CONGRATULATIONS!

        yes, I can login to the terminal

11) However, when I see /mnt/keys/kokamoto on the auth server

              I see several files, however the sizes are all zero yet

Yes, your advice solved my problem, although I still have ? on (11).

Thanks a lot!

I can now work on my purpose.
