If you had authentication of non-local users, then you must have been using a checkpassword compatible program. Are you sure the checkpassword program that you installed on your new Solaris 10 system is the same version as the one from your Solaris 9 system? More likely there is a difference between your checkpassword programs (unless somehow the libraries on Solaris 9 made local/non-local seemless to password programs).

What I have discovered is that checkpassword does not authenticate users who are not local to the machine, which used to work fine in Solaris 9. Our userdb is openldap, and the password&amp;shadow files have +:x::::: and +:::::::: respectively. nsswitch.conf is set up to find users this way: passwd: compat passwd_compat: ldap shadow: compat shadow_compat: ldap so that getent passwd &lt;user&gt; works fine. Is there a subtle difference between Solaris 9 and Solaris 10 that I didn't realize? I haven't seen any references to issues online, so I thought I would ask around here as well. thank you, Jim Craig </pre> James Craig 2010-08-23T18:48:15 Search the mailing list at Gmane query http://search.gmane.org/?group=$group=gmane.comp.djb.checkpassword
