Dear friend What my solution is: 1.First check the umask of /etc/passwd file because this is the file that has uid already set 2.if u find the umask is 644,that's pretty good 3.otherwise try to change it as 644 and now try to change the password as user i think u will definitely fix the problem at this stage try and enjoy Regards, your friend On Fri, 26 Aug 2005 Meadows,Andrew wrote : >Ok I need some help.
