No, this is not a case of the password being expired or about to expire. This happens when a regualr (non-root) user starts the userpasswd program either from command line or GUI menuing system. This happens to all users, not just some users in some situations.

Subject: userpasswd problem


I have two different RH 9 systems that are having some problems with userpasswd. One was upgraded from 7.2 and one was installed from scratch. In both cases, non-root users are prompted for their old password. When it is provided, rather than moving to the screen that prompts the uers to enter his/her new password, a dialog box saying "Error: Unknown error" is displayed and the following error is inserted


in /var/log/messages:

passwd(pam_unix)[2943]: password - (old) token not obtained

Any pointers would be appreciated.
