cant start "su" command

Hi,

in my QNX 62, as a regular user, when I type “su”.
it always say

su error: shadow file not exist

and I cant use su when I am a normal user,

anyone knows how to fix this?

Thanks,
Arthur

Quick and easy work-around: create an /etc/shadow file.

as root “touch /etc/shadow” will work.

This is PRed and fixed in our HEAD branch, but won’t be
in the 6.2.1 beta.
