I have a RHEL 7.9 server. I am trying to create a local account called sysadmin. I ran
useradd sysadmin
usermod -aG wheel sysadmin
passwd sysadmin
When I look in /home
I see the sysadmin folder, but it has a different owner. The owner is a service account that is unrelated. If I run chown sysadmin:sysadmin
, it does not change the owner, it stays the same service account. I don't see any related logs in secure or messages. There is no /var/log/auth.log
or syslog files. Has anyone seen this behavior?
