- Someone has gone in and modified the /etc/passwd, not advisable! All
- changes to accounts should be made through sysadmsh. SCO Unix 3.2.4
- will allow some more relaxed security and this is not so stringent, but
- at 3.2.2 you are only asking trouble like your having.
-
- Now for possible solutions. Run authck -p and hopefully it should
- prompt you to fix the discrepencies. Note you must be root to run
- this priveleged command or have the auth subsystem authorizations
