When trying to add a new user on a Debian 6.0 box I get:
passwd: User not known to the underlying authentication module
How can I disable Kerberos authentication and use the good old UNIX password?

1How was it initially set up? Sounds like your PAM configuration is looking in the wrong place. – Bart Silverstrim Mar 15 '11 at 13:00

Yes PAM seems to be messed up, this is a VPS server. I upgraded it with apt from lenny to squeeze I think that maybe screwed something. Not sure how to disable/remove PAM or fix it. I have never touched PAM before so it got the default settings. – breez Mar 15 '11 at 13:36

you just have to: aptitude purge libpam-krb5 this package seems to be automatically installed while upgrading and after that it thinks you're running kerberos authentication... at least on my VPS.
