Hi,

Strange problem, can you change one more time to some other passwd and check.

r u facing problem for only one user or other user also ?
is your system is a trusted system ?

hi,


I am surprised to heard such problem!

this problem to all users or a particular user?

Please memorize, ever you have changed your password more than one time........

[Deeos]

what was actual password prior to change password?

[Steven Schweda]

> I am using HPUX 11i [...]

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? ???

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

Hi ,

can you compare the first 8 characters in your both old and new password ? is it same?

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,

>The 8 character of last password is same as the new

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