Asking for password change in every login

Hi All,

I am facing some problem when I am login to My linux machine.

My server is RHEL AS 3 update 3.
When I am login as root user it is asking for password change every time.If I am try to set the same apssword again it is not accepting and showing same word is in the list or dictionary.
How to overcome this?I dont want to change my password at every login.

Regards
Renjith

Re: Asking for password change in every login

Hi Renjith,

Plz send me the output of the following files ---

1) /etc/security/opasswd
2) /etc/pam.d/login
3) /etc/pam.d/passwd

Also send me the logs.

It seems there is a problem with the PAM configuration which you seem to have changed for your convenience.

Shalom,

The user record in /etc/passwd has an issue.

This is most likely resolved by the chage command.

chage username
