[one-users] Sunstone "Error initializing authentication system"

[Valentin Bud]

Hi Ruben,

Thanks for your time. I followed the proposed solution but the result is
the same.

As `oneadmin`
```
$ oneuser show 1 | grep PASS
PASSWORD       : afc0f1457b5480afd548d5a09e14171bab315d2c

$ oneuser passwd 1 1234 --sha1
$ oneuser show 1 | grep PASS
PASSWORD       : 7110eda4d09e062aa5e4a390b0a572ac0d2c0220

$ echo "serveradmin:1234" > ~/.one/sunstone_auth
$ cat ~/.one/sunstone_auth 
serveradmin:1234

$ sunstone-server start
Stale .lock detected. Erasing it.
Error executing sunstone-server.
Check /var/log/one/sunstone.error and /var/log/one/sunstone.log for more
information
```

`/var/log/one/sunstone.log`

```

```

`/var/log/one/sunstone.error` is empty.

Some guidance on how to debug further would be useful. Thank you.

Cheers and Goodwill,
