   I'm running Slitaz Rolling in VirtualBox with Linux host. I have tried adding a user both from the command line and the panel but no matter what I try I get the "failed to execute login command" error. The only user that I can login with is root. That's not terrible, but WTF? I deleted user tux and I can't even bring that one back. Still when I boot Slitaz the prompt at the GUI login is tux. How can I change that?

   I am running Slitaz32 as well in VirtualBox on a Linux host. I did create a different user on installing Slitaz5 and that user works. Then I tried to create a user thru the Slitaz Panel and the panel creates the user but when I try and login as the new user, I get the same error message as per the above post. Now I suspect it is config issue that a certain file is not created the same way the install process creates a user different then tux. Wonderful distro to work with; I wish I could help more that just giving, hopefully useful, feedback.

   Repeatedly I experienced this error message and could fix it by simply changing ownership for the whole [user] home directory as root:

   ' chown -R [user].[user] /home/[usr] '

   Though I didn't search for the cause, maybe this might fix the symptom?

   I only encountered this fault once, and that was because the /etc/skel directory was incomplete...
   Then I just had to copy and rename the root folder as the base to skel.

   Hi Filou ;-)
