check the group 1 for which they belong.
Does the permissions are granted for them to changed.
Also check /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow permissions.
Nothing to do with this. the OP said only SOME users cant.
Can you check that the home directories are owned by the respective owners, with the rightful perms.. Did you do a comparison against the other users.
Check your /etc/nsswitch.conf file and see if the entry is "passwd: files"
You can also try "passwd -r files username"
ls -l /etc/pam.conf <----- pls check if anyone had made changes to this file?
If this doesn't work, try on just one user,:- remove the passwd entry in /etc/shadow file.
do "passwd username" again..
check this out.
when user is logged in at the command prompt
user1:$ password
then it will ask for current password then New password then retype new password.
give password at respective places.
I doubt it will work
check this out in ur system
login as a user.
it will work
OK, assuming it works as you said, can you provide an explanation of why it doesn't work when you change a user passwd as root?
just do ls -l /root/passwd
see the permissions given to it. Permissions should be given to user for read write.
may be permissions are not set.
may i know whats exactly u are passing the instruction.
to change user passwd
sorry friend .
I was helping u out with respect to linux .
You want in solaris .
I can't help you out in that matter.
You can figure it not its not a huge task.
helpful for Linux though !
yes that is useful for linux.
Hi incredible..
actually this problem with all users not some of all.
It shows passwd : Sorry, wrong passwd
Permission denied
but root is able to change the password for the user
i checked the permission of /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow
-rw-r--r-- 1 root sys 15738 Apr 23 10:24 /etc/passwd
and shadow permission is :
-r-------- 1 root sys 7173 Apr 23 10:24 /etc/shadow
and i did remove the password for user and put again new password but it's still prompting the same error.
Are you using any LDAP , NIS or something..? Can you find this out from your pals?
No there is no LDAP or NIS just it's a stand alone Server which is having ray application running.
can you post your CLI on how you usually created the user a/cs? Thx!
