Hi folks! Today I have been faced with a strange problem. I have tried to ssh into a box (RH 7.1) as root (nothing unusual), and was prompted with the following message: #You are required to change your password immediately (password aged) #Warning: Your password has expired, please change it now #Changing password for root #(current) UNIX password: After entering the current password, the response was: #You must wait longer to change your password The corresponding /var/log/secure entries were: # Accepted password for ROOT from 203.98.95.236 port 1107 # fatal: PAM pam_chauthtok failed[20]: Authentication token manipulation error The PAM rpm version is: pam-0.75-18.7 So as a result it was impossible to log in at all. Anyone has seen this before and knows what the problem is? Cheers, Luci
