I am seeing the same thing but it is also true for remote X sessions.

Janyne,

It might be a console rights problem...  I can run passwd from the
command line as a user with no problems and I can run userpasswd as
root.

I have two different RH 9 systems that are having some problems with userpasswd. After running into this problem I asked someone else who has a freshly installed (not upgraded) RH9 system try userpasswd on his system and he experiences ths same problem. One of my systems was upgraded from 7.2 and one was installed from scratch. In both cases, non-root users are prompted for their old password. When it is provided, rather than moving to the screen that prompts the uers to enter his/her new password, a dialog box saying "Error: Unknown error" is displayed and the following error is inserted in /var/log/messages:

passwd(pam_unix)[2943]: password - (old) token not obtained

Any pointers would be appreciated.
