Operating Systems Solaris User account get locked due to strange behaviours

Old 06-27-2014
I now have to agree with you that it seems that login authentication on this one machine is screwed up. Fortunately, you have other working systems.

So to start I suggest that you compare these files between the bad and a good system and tell us of any marked differences. We need to look carefully for clues as to what is causing this.

Code:
 
 /etc/security/policy.conf
  
 /etc/pam.conf

Especially watch for any odd formatting (corruption).

Thanks to all for helping me in my problem

Well it happen due to "PermitEmptyPasswords yes" in /etc/ssh/sshd_config file. It must be "no"

Nice to know. I've seen this exact behavior on Solaris systems before, and the "pain in the butt" factor never got large enough to make it worth figuring out.
