[SunHELP] Locked Accounts

[Charu Kamath]

oh that means vikas the users shown in /etc/shadow & /etc/passwd should be
left untouched.
i have 3 sun mahcines here.In one of the sun machines we have only the
created users in the list whereas in other machines we have -
daemon:NP
bin:NP
sys:NP
adm:NP
lp:NP
uucp:NP
nuucp:NP
listen:*LK*:::::::
nobody:NP
noaccess:NP
nobody4:NP

what does NP mean???

Hi All
  I face a peculiar problem. When I am creating new accounts using command
prompts(useradd), I have *LK* in the shadow (given below)
temp5:*LK*:12424::::::

Now when I do
bash-2.03# passwd temp5
New Password:
Permission denied

How can I change my passwd thru passwd command.
FYI: I do not want to manually edit /etc/shadow under any circumstances.

Regards
Vikas
