Hi Dmitry,

You have a way to intercept the crypt call (I think a user level library routine) from
within kmdb?

Rao,

Yes it's a little bit an overkill - personally I would intercept
crypt call and make any password acceptable or something like this.

But the idea it self is outstanding ;-))

This seems like a more involved process than necessary. Why not just
change the in-kernel cred value of the ordinary user to that of root and
than just use normal utilities to change the passwd.
