- I may know what the problem is. If you have accounts that have passwords which were
- last changed at 9.7, rather than 10.x, the passwords are different between the
- registry and the /etc/passwd file. I have no idea why, but I do know that at
- 10.x, they changed the encryption to be JLRU, instead of Aegis-like.
-
- Check the accounts that fail for this by going into edrgy and doing a
- 'view <account> -f' on them. If the last-changed time is about the time you
- did your last cvtrgy, then I'll lay pretty good odds that they haven't changed
- their password.
