sshd2 - Login with account id=0 and rsh

[Cleverson A. Ferla]

When the password for this accounts is expired, the following message appears :
"""
Your password has expired. You are now forced to change it.
Changing password for root
Old password:
Sorry.
sshd2[15967]: FATAL: Forced command `/usr/bin/passwd' exited uncleanly, closing connection.
""

Thanks.

Message is clear. The target host has an expiring root password and said password has expired. The password needs to be set on that host.

Doing so will make the error go away.

Which ssh version?? Is direct root login allowed in sshd_config file??

F-Secure SSH 3.2.3

Direct login for root is allowed.

I think that some how Fsecure ssh client is not able to use passwd command to change the password. Also are you using the correct root password when it prompts for old password??

password is correct. If I connect whith other account(id=0) I change the password whithout problems.
The command passwd is set to 4555

IS the system trusted system?? If yes do as follows. (user telnet and other account with id=0)
/usr/lbin/getprpw -m lockout root
You should get 0000000.
(This indiocates that account is not locked)
/usr/sam/lbin/usermod.sam -F -p "" root

Hope this helps.
