Not very specific.

uname -a

Are you also using NIS[+] or some other
exotic authorization system?

> Yesterday I change some user password.

How, exactly? As usual, showing actual
commands with their actual output can be more
helpful than vague descriptions and
interpretations.

> [...] through putty [...]

Telnet? SSH? ???

Re: Password Problem

Passwords are usually truncated to 8 chars. But your two examples differ in the 8th char.

Thnaks All For The Response

Its is not a trusted system or NOT in NIS+ domain

It happens for all users .

The 8 character of last password is same as the new ( Its is interchanged a bit )

Hi,

So check Dennis answer - and don't use passwords longer than 8 characters.
