Before I go off and start checking I'm just wondering if anyone has seen this behaviour before.
As you can see there is an extra "Retype new Password", the system is;
The system has been built and a new "Security Standard" applied, this was done as a result of a "Security Audit" by a company called CGI.
This will cause an issue with a number of the standard accounts that we have on the servers going forward, the idea is to have a standard build so it has to be correct - one problem that I can foress is that the passwords are changed on the aforementioned accounts using an expect script and the second "Retype new Password" will break the script.
So I thought that I'd ask here before I raise an incident with Red Hat support.
