Hello I wanted to change the root password by connecting to the AstLinux box, but I get the following error:
========== # passwd Changing password for root New password: Retype password: passwd: cannot update password file /etc/shadow ========== FWIW, here's more information: ========== # ll /etc/shadow -rw------- 1 root root 149 Feb 20 13:29 /etc/shadow ========== # cat /etc/ssh/sshd_config Protocol 2 Port 22 ListenAddress 0.0.0.0 PermitRootLogin yes Subsystem sftp /usr/sbin/sftp-server Banner /etc/issue.net ========== Is it some protection on the server? Do I need to do this by connecting to the console directly? Thank you. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
