I understand that by running the command pwdadm -c user, the ADMCHG flags will be removed from /etc/security/passwd file. But in the first place, why it doesn't remove the flags after root id has changed the password?
Why we need to run this command of pwdadm -c to remove the flag ADMCHG manually?
Is there any patches need to be applied to permanently fix the problem?
I afraid whenever the root id been expired, the same problem will happen again.
Thanks.
