Unable to run passwd command to change password version 11.31

[chanjee]

Hello friends,

I am facing an issue with the passwd command in one of our system installed with Hp-Ux 11.31

It gives the following error when we try to change password for any of the user,

eg-

#passwd root
pam_chauthtok: Shared object load failure.

when i check in syslog it gives the following error

shl_load: error loading library /usr/lib/security/hpux32/libpam_unix.so.1: No such file or directory

while the  file  libpam_unix.so.1 is present in the path /usr/lib/security/hpux32 and is a valid file as its being used for other PAM services    eg- ftp,ssh,su are working using the module libpam_unix.so.1 ,   issue  only  with passwd service  not working.

Appreciate your response..Thanks
