bug#22492: create new user guixsd

[rennes]

Hi,

i run 'guix system reconfigure config.scm --falback', and add new user: 
tron.

When i try to login such as tron does not allow login and slim restart.

i check secure and slim.log log files, this message appears in slim.log:

slim: pam_authentication(): User not known to the underlying 
authentication module

The solution to fix this issue was: changing the owner:group for the 
home user.

cd /home
chown -Rf 30019:users tron

and works.

How did you add the new user account?  You added it in the
‘operating-system’ declaration and then run ‘guix system reconfigure’,
right?

Could it be that /home is on a separate partition?  There’s a problem
when that is the case: <http://bugs.gnu.org/21108>.

If I am reading this correctly, it means that you changed ownership of
all files in /home to the "tron" user. In general that seems like a bad
idea. What about other users?

Can you log in as ‘tron’ on the console?  (Try Ctrl-alt-F2 to switch to
the console.)
