Can't change password for a user
All,
I am unable to change a password for the user called : poller I am logged in as root When I do the following command passwd poller New Password: Permission denied Whe i enter the new password, it gives the above error. When i log in as poller and then execute the command, then the following error is displayed su - poller passwd passwd: Changing password for loader Permission denied It gives an error saying can't change password for another user loader. Why so? And is there any way to find the current password for this user by logging as root. Thanks in Advance, Rahul.

Yes - Solution found
Yes My server is in the NIS domain and hence the error.
I found one solution from a colleague. passwd -r files poller The above command will change the password. You have to execute this as root. Regards, Rahul
