dtsession lock problems

On hp-UX 11.00, my login is up to 8 letters. When the session lock, I can't unlock with my password and I have to take the root password.
Errors on syslog are :
Dec 19 10:21:28 b2000h DTSESSION: pamauthenticate status=13
Dec 19 10:21:28 b2000h DTSESSION: pamauthenticate status=9

How can I do ?

Thanks

This is the latest libpam patch.

Re: dtsession lock problems

At a guess, did you by any chance change this system to trusted, whilst CDE was up and running. I read somewhere that this happened on a 10.20 system, although I know your is 11.00. My suggestion is, if this is the case, shutdown CDE, change your users password and start CDE again.
Anyone for a Mutiny ?

Re: dtsession lock problems

DTSESSION: pamauthenticate status=9 << unlock screen with wrong passwd

Patch PHSS_22339 fixes following:
?? dtsession unnecessarily logs the success status of PAM into syslog.

Please install this patch to solve the problem.
