One 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. -- Janyne Kizer Systems Programmer Administrator NC State University, College of Agriculture & Life Sciences Extension Information Technology -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
