Kickstart install - adding users and groups not working properly

$

Hello all,

 

I have been working on a kickstart scripted install using the %post section. In here I have added a group for admins and then created users using the -g switch to add them to the group.

 

From a linux point of view, the passwd file confirms that the users are members of the group but when looking via the VI client the users and groups are created but the users are not showing as members of the group. Also an interesting issue is that the users are disabled. You have to reset the password via the VI client before the users are able to log in.

 

Does anyone have any ideas?

Commands used in the %post section:

 

groupadd -g550 VMware_admins

useradd -u510 -gVMware_admins -p 'password' -c "users name" username
