Can't change user's password
I've got another problem...
Here's whats happening when i try to change the user password as root:
Code:
vhqut11:root 
# passwd ldap_user
Changing password for "ldap_user"
ldap_user's Old password:
ldap_user's New password:
Re-enter ldap_user's new password:

It works but on my LDAP, the password encryption is : clear. (it was md5crypt before passwd)

Now when i change the passwd with the ldap_user, it doesn't even work :
Code:
vhqut11:ldap_user
# passwd
Changing password for "ldap_user"
ldap_user's Old password:
ldap_user's New password:
Re-enter ldap_user's new password:
A password change is not allowed at this time.

Any tips?

vipw

vipw(1B)					     SunOS/BSD Compatibility Package Commands						  vipw(1B)

NAME

       vipw - edit the password file

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/ucb/vipw

DESCRIPTION

       vipw edits the password file while setting the appropriate locks, and does any necessary processing after the password file is unlocked. If
       the password file is already being edited, then you will be told to try again later.  The vi(1) editor will be used unless the  environment
       variable VISUAL or EDITOR indicates an alternate editor.

       vipw performs a number of consistency checks on the password entry for root, and will not allow a password file with a "mangled" root entry
       to be installed.  It also checks the /etc/shells file to verify the login shell for root.

FILES

       /etc/ptmp

       /etc/shells
