Dear Sir
I?m terribly confused about one problem in our environment. We have one
NIS+SAMBA environment, running in E450 with Solaris 7. Apparently, after
one system patch application, the password change is not working. Please
look this:
1) In the server, with root account:
# passwd user_test
New password:
Re-enter new password:
NIS passwd/attributes changed on server
passwd (SYSTEM): Password database busy. Try again later.
Permission denied
#
# su - user_test
Sun Microsystems Inc. SunOS 5.7 Generic October 1998
You have mail.> id
uid=9718(user_test) gid=118(users)> passwd
passwd: Changing password for another_user
passwd (NIS): Permission denied
Permission denied>
Well, 'another_user' is the user that I was used to log in the server.
If I
try:
# passwd another_user
New password:
Re-enter new password:
NIS passwd/attributes changed on toledo
passwd (SYSTEM): Password database busy. Try again later.
Permission denied
#
The error is the same, but the password IS CHANGED!
2) In one Win2k station:
Using <CTRL>+<ALT>+<DEL> and "Change password...",
occurs one error "The
user name or old password is incorrect". However, the NIS password is
changed, but not the SAMBA password.
3) In one Linux client:
user_test@station ~/home]$ passwd
Changing password for user_test
(current) UNIX password:
New password:
Retype new password:
RPC: Server can't decode arguments
The password has not been changed on toledo.
passwd: Failed preliminary check by password service
[user_test@station ~/homelinux]$
In the server logs, the only message when the problem happens is that:
passwd[12210]: pam_chauthtok: error Unknown error
and in the Linux workstation log, is the following:
passwd(pam_unix)[27862]: password not changed for user_test on server
In the SAMBA logs, there aren?t anything.
Can anyone help me with this?
