[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi All,

Can anyone help me in resolving this problem.

 

I use Redhat 9 Enterprise edition. I have a session in which I logged in as a root. When I issue the command “su” from any other user it is throwing error “su : Incorrect password”, If I try to change the password from the root session, it is throwing error “passwd : module unknown”.

 

[root@TESTING root]# su

su: incorrect password

[root@TESTING root]# passwd

Changing password for user root.

passwd: Module is unknown

[root@TESTING root]# which passwd

/usr/bin/passwd

[root@TESTING root]# ls /etc/passwd

/etc/passwd

[root@TESTING root]#

 

[root@TESTING root]# uname -a

Linux TESTING 2.4.21-4.ELsmp #1 SMP Fri Oct 3 17:52:56 EDT 2003 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

[root@TESTING root]#

 

As a normal user other than root

 

[kapil@TESTING kapil]$ su

su: incorrect password

[kapil@TESTING kapil]$

 

Please help me in resolving this problem.
