Hello. I'm getting very odd behavior when I try to change a user's password in Solaris 8. The shell, where it used to ask for a new passwd and a confirmation, now asks FOUR times, with two success message.
This is what happens every time:
# passwd myusername
New Password: xxxxxxxx
New Password: xxxxxxxx
Re-enter new Password: xxxxxxxx
passwd: password successfully changed for myusername
Re-enter new Password: xxxxxxxx
passwd: password successfully changed for myusername
#
The passwd program seems identical (bytewise) to others that do not have this problem, and it happens under any shell (sh, bash, etc). Everything else seems to be working normally.
What the heck?
