Title: RE: Upgraded to 7.1 - Now Users Cannot Change Passwords??

I updated my PAM package to 0.75-18.7 and the problem has disappeared.  I also had to update glibc packages to 2.2.4-19 as required by the new PAM version.

 

Thanks Everyone!

Thanks Jeff,  I'm currently operating with pam-0.74-22.  I can't get to the Internet right now to check for the latest update.

From what I've read, I thought that this is an issue/bug with the pam version on redhat 7.1...

And where is this done??  The shadow password file exists and the password file entries do not contain the password.

The only other thing I've seen cause problems were when the system did not
have "shadow passwords" enabled.
