we have an applince called "PAR" e-DMZ Security ? Password Auto Repository (PAR) this applince is managing solaris users
Don't you think that was worth mentioning in the first place ?

, for some reason some of the users complains we are not able to login and the password changed just i need to know why the password reset happend for them so i need to identify the user coz this applince has 1 user equvelent to root called padmin.
Is that appliance logging its actions ?

I would focus on a forum that specializes in the PAR appliance. If that appliance is changing the passwords, then it would have its own logging and may not use the system's normal logging functions.
