Anyone else noticed that Solaris 10 has changed the behavior of the passwd -l command?
If a user is set for authentication outside of pam_unix by passwd -N so that their shadow entry is NP, that works fine. If the user needs to be locked (such as for eventual account deletion), the normal method is passwd -l. This would usually set *LK* in the front of the shadow entry. But if the entry was NP, there is no change made to the entry. Many months ago when we last checked, this worked fine. So far, we haven't figured out what change caused this behavior. ---- "The speed of communications is wondrous to behold.
