Hi, M Azer schrieb:> ERROR: the 'unix password sync' parameter is set and the 'passwd program' > () cannot be executed (error was No such file or directory). ERROR: the > 'passwd program' () requires a '%u' parameter.The default value for the parameter "passwd program" is passwd program = /bin/passwd Maybe your passwd program is located somewhere else, then you have to set this parameter to its location.

> I tried /bin/passwd but didn't work - ThanksHave you just tried or did you look if your passwd programm is really located in /bin? Maybe its in /usr/bin. Try which passwd to find it, when it`s located in your path variable. -- Marc Muehlfeld (Leitung Systemadministration) Zentrum fuer Humangenetik und Laboratoriumsmedizin Dr. Klein und Dr. Rost Lochhamer Str. 29 - D-82152 Martinsried Telefon: +49(0)89/895578-0 - Fax: +49(0)89/895578-78 http://www.medizinische-genetik.de
