Hi All,
Can anyone help me in resolving this problem.
I use Redhat 9 Enterprise edition. I have a session in which I logged in
as a root. When I issue the command "su" from any other user it is
throwing error "su : Incorrect password", If I try to change the
password from the root session, it is throwing error "passwd : module
unknown".
[root at TESTING root]# su
su: incorrect password
[root at TESTING root]# passwd
Changing password for user root.
passwd: Module is unknown
[root at TESTING root]# which passwd
/usr/bin/passwd
[root at TESTING root]# ls /etc/passwd
/etc/passwd
[root at TESTING root]#
[root at TESTING root]# uname -a
Linux TESTING 2.4.21-4.ELsmp #1 SMP Fri Oct 3 17:52:56 EDT 2003 i686
i686 i386 GNU/Linux
[root at TESTING root]#
As a normal user other than root
[kapil at TESTING kapil]$ su
su: incorrect password
[kapil at TESTING kapil]$
Please help me in resolving this problem.
