Password expiring

[mparasur]

Hi All,

I am facing a strange problem with my HP-UX Server. I have one HP-UX 11.23 server. I have reset the password of one user. The user changed the password after the first login and he was able to login with new password. But the real problem started when the user logged out and tried to relogin. He could not login with the new password as well as the password which I have set. I have again reset the password and still the same problem.

I have reseted the password with passwd -x 0

Could any one please give me what could cause this issue.

Thanks,
mparasur

Are you running "trusted" system ?

if so review settings, and reset with modprpw -x username.

You can review settings with either SAM or getprpw command.

HI:

Well, use specified the number of days before expiration to be zero (0)!

The system is not in trusted mode.

If you just have a strait un-shadowed or un-trusted password file then vipw and remove everything after the "," including the "," in the password field. This will disable any password ageing options.

Him parasur:

Try it:

passwd -df
telnet

when system ask by login you can put new password.

The lenght of passwd must be <8 .

the access is bye ssh or telnet?
