Hi all,

I'm running solaris 8 patched up to the latest recommended cluster on a
Sunfire V120. I've added a user:

useradd -u 615 -g 101 -d /home/myuser -s /usr/bin/bash myuser

But I cannot change the password as root or myuser as it just returns
permission denied.

I've removed the *LK* from /etc/shadow but it made no difference.

I've tested this on another V120 and it works fine, but I cannot see any
obvious difference between the two servers.

Apologies for this post, but I've googled and searched through sun docs and
they all seem to refer to LDAP, which we're not running.

Any replies are much appreciated.

Thanks,
Barry.
