I'm sure there's an event for it. I havn't had to use it for quite some
time. There's a redbook out on: "http://www.ibm.com/redbooks" which is
called: "AIX AUDITING AND ACCOUTING" it's a security book and in the back
it has all of the audit events. If there isn't one for password change,
then the event for writes to the "/etc/passwd" file may be as to some use.

Do you mean that when a user is forced to change their password there
is no audit record at all, or simply that you can't distinguish between
that and the user changing it voluntarily using passwd?
