Seems to be identical to this old issue: https://github.com/89luca89/distrobox/issues/168

Verified that this issue seems to be specific to Fedora 40 containers. Fedora 39 works as expected.

I just tried on a current openSUSE Tumbleweed, making sure I have the git version ('which distrobox') , unfortunately the bug is still there. Is there any way to have full debug log attached?

I can confirm this but it seems more like a fedora issue

try with a simple podman run --rm -ti fedora:40 to create an user, enter it and set a password:

Sadly there isn't much I can do here, surely will need help
