Hello, When I, as root, change the password of another user in the /etc/passwd file like [root@star /]#passwd anotheruser the password program immediately allows me to enter a new password. Now, I have this user in an LDAP-based directory. As root, I can modify his password, but the passwd-program first asks me to enter this user's current (LDAP) password before it lets me make any changes, which is very unpleasant in the case of somebody forgetting his/her password. Does anybody know how I should modify the /etc/pam.d/passwd file to overcome this unwanted situation? The current contents are displayed at the bottom of this message. Thanks in advance Maarten Buiter #%PAM-1.0 auth sufficient /lib/security/pam_ldap.so auth required /lib/security/pam_unix_auth.so use_first_pass account sufficient /lib/security/pam_ldap.so account required /lib/security/pam_unix_acct.so password required /lib/security/pam_cracklib.so retry=3 password sufficient /lib/security/pam_ldap.so password required /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so try_first_pass _______________________________________________ Pam-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/pam-list
