I'm writing a shell script; it runs as root. The script will be used
to ask a user to change their password. I use:
/bin/su user -c /bin/passwd
where `user' is the username of the unprived user.
When this statement executes it gives the following error message:
Password not changed: not authorized to change another user's password.
Authentication error; see Account Administrator
Why is it failing? We are using enhanced agony (I mean security) and
I assume there is a ``capability'' that root is missing. How/where do
I add it?
HELP!
