Are you using local passwd files or NIS? If you are using NIS I would expect that kdepasswd is not configured to deal with yppasswd.

I have always changed passwords from the prompt, but I have had some of the people using our beta servers report that the graphical Change Password utility doesn't work. I have been able to confirm this and I was wondering if there is a workaround for this or if we need to have our users change their passwords from the prompt? This is what happens: Start the program (K -> Utilities -> Change Password) Prompts you for your current password The error "Conversion with 'passwd' failed" appears Click OK Prompts you to enter you new password twice The error "Conversion with 'passwd' failed" appears Click OK A window saying "Your password has been changed." is displayed. It lies though. It really wasn't changed. thanks! -- Janyne Kizer CNE-3, CNE-4, CNE-5 Systems Programmer Administrator I NC State University, College of Agriculture & Life Sciences Extension and Administrative Technology Services Phone: (919) 515-3609 _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
