I'm used to being able to change user's passwords as root using the "passwd" command on my main server (this was with NIS and the master shadow file kept on the server). Now with FDS, I get: # passwd orion Changing password for user orion. Enter login(LDAP) password: and I must enter the password for the user "orion". This gets tricky when the user has forgotten their password. Is there a way to avoid this first check and allow root to force a change of the password? -- Orion Poplawski Technical Manager 303-415-9701 x222 NWRA/CoRA Division FAX: 303-415-9702 3380 Mitchell Lane orion at cora.nwra.com Boulder, CO 80301 http://www.cora.nwra.com
