What this is trying to do is set the password of OTHER_USER to the contents of the test file (the new password should be 'testing'). The problem is passwd complains that 'testing' is too simple a password so it expects to hear the password 3 times not twice like the command tries.
my test.passwd now contains: <quote> testing testing testing </quote> note the trailing new line and the test succeeds. Another option would be to use a password that it won't complain about so the default twice works. What I find most odd about this problem is different people seem to get different results. We are running the test suite in a chroot of a system I have created. When the chroot is established on a RH box all is well. I use a Debian system for development and get the above behaviour. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Email [EMAIL PROTECTED]
