hello Steffen,

passwd -e should work if you issue the command while logged in as root.
otherwise you should get "Permission denied" error.
you can also verify that /bin/bash is in /etc/shells.
if nothing works installing the latest patch cluster and security fixes is a good idea.


greetings,

Stoyan

Hi,

I'm having problems on Solaris 8 with the passwd command.

When trying change my login shell using the passwd command I get the following:

[mr4:~/scripts] steffen% passwd -e steffen
Old shell: /bin/tcsh
New shell: /bin/bash
Segmentation fault

I've looked around the web for a solution but havn't found any.

Thanks for any help.

Steffen
