[comp.sys.apollo] paswords a saga...

nick@agsm.unsw.oz (Nick Frisina) (08/10/88)

i have 2 apollo dn3000 and 1 dn4000 all with aegis 9.7.0.3
the environments is sys5
now...
some i my users can alter their passwords successfully using the
unix "passwd" command. some cannot?!?
why? who knows??
the same is true of the aegis command "chpass"
and the login using the "-p" option.
this is MORE odd, as when the password is changed (using passwd or chpass),
the "su - user" command works well
BUT....
logging off totally, then attempt to login, gives the error
message "Invalid attempt to login".
this is a reproducable error on my system.

ANYBODY OUT THERE WHO CAN HELP?
