I have a hooks file, in the hooks folder, that looks like this:

echo "root:rootpw" | chpasswd    
echo "user:userpw" | chpasswd

After boot, Debian asks for user and password. When I type user along with the password above it does NOT work. But, if I type root with the password then I can login?

After that I looked at the shadow file, but there is NO user in the shadow file.

ld config .. with username=user ..

Any solution?

    Have you added the user user to the system prior to any of this? You generally use a command such as useradd or adduser to do this. – slm♦ Jun 1 '14 at 14:41
