Re: problem with changing password in hpux
to change the userpasswd
u have to use the command passwd username
other wise it will chnage root passwd.
#passwd username
if u are using
#passwd it will change root passwd.
thanks and regards

Re: problem with changing password in hpux
It's something new to me also. What is the OS version? Do you have installed shadow password or converted to trusted system?

Re: problem with changing password in hpux
It is not a major issue
#passwd username
old password:
New Password:
After changing password, try to login again
If u can login successfully, means problem solved.

Re: problem with changing password in hpux
I think you have not understand the issue . let me give some details
When a user has login with his credentials and then if he want to change passwd why he need to go for ├в passwd username├в , he can go for ├в passwd├в only.
But I am sorry, In both case it will ask old password for two times. See below
Server1:bdd.ext> passwd bdd.ext
Old password:
Changing password for bdd.ext
Old password:
New password:
Re-enter new password:
Passwd successfully changed
Server1:bdd.ext>
Note :When i change passwd for a user as root login, system will ask old pass one time only .

Re: problem with changing password in hpux
unexpected way, the first thing to check is
which program you are actually running.
Depending on your shell, something like one
of these may say something interesting:
type passwd
whence passwd
which passwd
You could have an unusual PATH, and you could
be running almost anything (named "passwd").

And different users can have different values
for PATH, too.
