Stupid passwd tricks: User with blank GECOS can''t change passwd
I have discovered that a user who has a blank GECOS field in the passwd file
under RedHat 4.0 (Colgate) is unable to change passwords. Running the passwd
command goes like this:
[user@host user]$ passwd
Password: [entry of old passwd]
New password: [entry of new passwd]
[user@host user]$ echo $!
1
[user@host user]$
Setting the name field in the GECOS seems to solve this problem.
