[kunjuttan]

Hi All,

I am facing one issue in Linux(RHEL-5) server. One specific user password is getting expired frequently. Everything is fine in shadow file.

Please help.

Hi,

How does the user login? is it using SSH or sftp etc?

Also check Password Expires in
# chage -l <username>

[kunjuttan]

user login via ssh.

wht is that command for??

man chage

chage lists and changes the uid's password expiration settings.

Hi,

Is this happening for both console logins and ssh? or is it happening only for ssh logins?

As root, run the command

chage -l     <username>

and see what are the current account and password expiration values. If you suspect anything then change

accordingly using

chage   <username>

hope this helps you

regards

Krishna
