Hi,
Last month several of our passwords expired with no reason. The system
is set to expire the password only on 2005 (I know I wasn't supposed to
do so...). I was able to restore the passwords by bringing it from
another machine.
A few days later a special set of users which uses a non-standard shell
had their accounts disabled eventhough XIsso didn't show anything
strange and edauth showed no clues. The shell simply execve(
"/usr/bin/su", "-", "root_like_login" ) and returns 1 or 0 to the OS.
For the latter accounts I had to delete and then recreate them. Now the
passwords are disabled again and there is no unsuccessful login record
on TCB and the password field is OK. How can I solve this problem.
I've never thought on asking this on unix (and I've been playing with it
for 7 years now): should I re-install the OS?!?!?
Thank you,
Gustavo.
