Hi Everyone, This whole problem with the password command not working when winbind is included as a method in the nsswitch.conf can probably be worked around by simply using the -r files (or -r nis or -r nisplus) switch. Take a look at the man page for passwd on HP-UX 11.x and see if this won't help you out. Hope this helps, Don
