Creating users within jails (in shell) buggy

[underpickled]

I've had this happen multiple times...
After entering a jail with

Code:

root@freenas~# jexec [jid] /bin/csh
root@[jailname]~# 

and then using the "adduser" command to add a user, the creation is successful as indicated by the shell output, but subsequently entering "users" does not display any users. Also, entering "su [username]" will not return an error, but simply go to a

Code:

#

prompt instead of

Code:

[user]@[jailname]~#

Trying to create a user again with the same name gives an error saying the user already exists. I know this has happened to at least one other person on this forum. I eventually got it to work, but only after adding dummy users and deleting and re-adding the original one. Even then, the second time I ran into the problem, the steps I took to fix it the first time didn't work and took more fiddling so it's not deterministic.

but subsequently entering "users" does not display any users.

The users command shows the list of currently logged in users, not the list of all defined users.
Everything works as expected. Try running whoami (Who am I?) while in the # shell (after running su)... ;)

I'm not so sure everything "works as expected".

Did you actually try what I suggested? (running whoami)

I can't at the moment... won't be able to until tonight. Guess it doesn't matter anyway though,

I've been notified that this is correct behavior through the bug tracker... but I wouldn't have put in a bug report if it wasn't requested.
