Hi,
I'm seeing an unusual problem on one particular box here, it's an E450,
Solaris 8, 108528-23 and has had the JASS toolkit run on it (that's a bit
vague I know, I'm trying to get more details). An E250 with similar setup
behaves normally. The problem is reproduced here by doing the following:
# groupadd test
# useradd -g test -d /home/test -m test
#passwd test
Password:
No matter what password I enter here, it comes back with an error telling me
wrong password. I have no problem as root, changing my password.
The user is in /etc/passwd and in /etcshadow, having '*LK*' in the hashed
password field. If we edit /etc/shadow and delete '*LK*' we can then issue
# passwd test
New Password:
.
.. and so on.
Once the user has a password assigned they can change it no problem.
I did a cursory comparison between the 'correct' and 'incorrect' servers and
found that passwd was the same size on both (23500 bytes) and the same
timestamp. On the 'incorrect' server, /usr/bin/passwd did not have read
permission for group and world. I amended this but no difference was
observed.
Anyone have any ideas?
Cheers,
James
