passwd don't work

[claudio_22]

Hi ,

I've following on changing password for any user :

pam_chauthtok: Shared object load failure.

OS is hp-ux 11.23

Any idea ?

Thanks

[Alex Lavrov.]

what is the output of:

echo $SHLIB_PATH

?

[Alex Lavrov.]

Oops, wanted to add:

if it's empty:

SHLIB_PATH=usr/bin
export SHLIB_PATH

if its already set:

SHLIB_PATH=usr/bin:$SHLIB_PATH
export SHLIB_PATH

[claudio_22]

$SHLIB_PATH is not set ; if I set it to /usr/bin how you suggest nothing change .

I've the same problem on all Itanium hp-ux 11.23 server that has benn recently patched
with B.11.23.0505.022 Base Quality Pack Bundle May 2005 . I've seen a passwd patch ( PHCO_31616 ) has been installed .

Thanks

Hi


What shell are you using

Is there a message in the syslog which may be clearer

What level are your pam patches

Patch Name: PHCO_32926

Patch Description: s700_800 11.23 libpam_unix cumulative patch

does
swlist -l fileset -a title -a revision -a state -x show_superseded_patches=false|grep -v configured

only give comment lines

I've installed PHCO_32926 but yet don't work .

Shell is /bin/sh

[Ermin Borovac]

$ grep passwd /etc/pam.conf

Check the output of the above and verify that .so files exist in /usr/lib/security/hpux32 directory.

Also what do you have in /etc/nsswitch.conf on the passwd line?

Seem I've not some libraries

[Ermin Borovac · Accepted solution]

>>> passwd password required hpux64/libpam_pwplus.1

There is your problem. Let me guess, you have installed some custom product (pwplus) which has overwritten your /usr/bin/passwd with a special binary. Now you have installed /usr/bin/passwd patch, overwriting Pwplus binary. Correct?

[claudio_22]

Yes. But not me exaclty :-)

Anyway I tried , before open this 3d , install again PWPLUS .

Solution instead was .. remove it.

That is not really a solution . But without PWPLUS passwd work now .

Thanks a lot

Bye
