Regarding Nextcloud.Eskimo.Com and other Nextcloud Admins considering Upgrade to 25.x
Nextcloud 25.0.1 came out, but the app user_external used to authenticate Linux/Unix users hasn't been ported to 25.x yet, thus if you use a system login for access, until this is corrected there is no way to authenticate.
I have filed a bug report on Github but if history repeats, it will be dutifully ignored, time will tell.

I got authentication working again by taking the version user_external 3.0.0-beta meant for Nextcloud 24, editing the xml file that described it to include support for Nextcloud 25, tried it, and it SEEMS to work. Just posting this for others stuck in a similar conundrum.
