Attempting to do anything in Ubuntu/Xubuntu to a password with out using sudo results in "permission denied". Since the root account is locked, we can not make a change without sudo. However, I did type that line wrong. Here is the actual lines from terminal:
jhtad...@justhaveto:~$ passwd -e jhtadmin passwd: Permission denied. jhtad...@justhaveto:~$ sudo passwd -e jhtadmin [sudo] password for jhtadmin: passwd: password expiry information changed. jhtad...@justhaveto:~$ As you see, it denies permission without sudo. The only log I can find with anything in it about the password change is auth.log. I am attaching today's copy, showing the transactions from today. Not even my .xsession_errors shows anything. Am I missing a log entry? ** Attachment added: "/var/log/auth.log dated 2009-12-05" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/36473448/auth.log -- Changing your password does not allow admin authentication before session is restarted https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/315002 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-system-tools in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
