I was upgrading my HDD to SSD on my mid 2011 iMac 21.5 in 2.5 GHz intel core i5 running High Sierra 10.13.6 used superdooper to clone the original HDD to SSD then made another superdooper clone to a second SSD.

I then installed the SSD in the old HDD space reassembled and everything is working fabulous but both versions of my old HDD on the new SSD's show the following:

login: login: could not determine audit condition (process completed)

When trying to access terminal.

My only experience with terminal follows. I'm not tech-savvy.

I entered:

sudo mdutil -a -i off   (once to disable spotlight)

And I did run the following:

sudo mkdir -p /Users/Shared  (then)
sudo chown root:wheel /Users/Shared (then)
sudo chmod -R 1777 /Users/Shared

This was advised to me and quite frankly I don't recall why.

I'm of course on a steep learning curve here but can follow directions. Can anyone help? I cannot access the terminal at all.
