Hi
I'm updating an OpenBSD box on my lan and changed passwords over ssh.
I successfully changed the normal users but, having su'd to root, could not
then change the root password over ssh.
I got prompted for the new password twice, as normal, and there were no error
messages and there was nothing apparent to say
the action didn't work.
However when I exited and re-su'd it wouldn't accept the new password but would
accept the old.
I'm using the local passwd system and I have root login disabled over ssh.
Is this a security feature when su'ing to change root passwd or is it caused by
trying to change it over ssh?
Regards
L.
