You have a way to intercept the crypt call (I think a user level library
routine) from within kmdb?
Directly - of course not. But I can intercept read(libc.so).
You are right - probably it's more complex than track read(/etc/shadow)
- have to try it by my own hands before any further
discussion ;)

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.
