Managers,

I got no responses at all to my question below.



> We have just discovered a problem with "usermod" that we had not
> noticed before.
>
> We are running DU V4.0D with patch kit #2 & C2 security.
>
> When we use "usermod" to change an accounts primary group the account
> is locked even though "administrative_lock_applied=0" is the default.
>
> Example:
>
> usermod -g 200 test1
>
> Causes the account to be locked.
>
> If we explicitly set the "administrative_lock_applied" as we change
> the group the problem does not occur.
>
> Example:
>
> usermod -g 200 -x administrative_lock_applied=0 test1
>
> The account remains unlocked.
>
> Can anyone help with this?
