Many thanks to those who responded (no particular order:) Johan Hartzenberg Chris Hoogendyk Filo Smith Susan Thielen alas, I don't really know the cause of the problem, and the inconsistent nature of the beast makes it difficult to diagnose. I've since applied a recent patch cluster to the system (absurdly long overdue) and I'm hoping this will help alleviate future issues. Suggestions included, -check authentication mechanism (LDAP, etc?) -check for odd things in /etc/shadow file -look for duplicate UIDs -any issues with time involved, ie minimum wait time enforced etc? -alias defined for "passwd" to do something other than what I expect? Again, many thanks for the help. --Tim Chipman _______________________________________________ sunmanagers mailing list sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org http://www.sunmanagers.org/mailman/listinfo/sunmanagersReceived on Thu Aug 31 15:32:27 2006
