[Plesk 10.0.1 , Centos 5]
for security reason I've been asked to change the root password,
I logged via ssh as root user, and I used the standard commend :
passwd
Changing password for user root.
passwd: Failed preliminary check by password service
I tried to look into the /etc/pam.d/system-auth :
#%PAM-1.0
# This file is auto-generated.
# User changes will be destroyed the next time authconfig is run.
auth required pam_env.so
auth sufficient pam_unix.so nullok try_first_pass
auth sufficient pam_plesk.so try_first_pass
auth requisite pam_succeed_if.so uid >= 500 quiet
auth required pam_deny.so
account required pam_unix.so
account sufficient pam_succeed_if.so uid < 500 quiet
account required pam_permit.so
password requisite pam_cracklib.so try_first_pass retry=3
password optional pam_plesk.so try_first_pass
password sufficient pam_unix.so md5 shadow nullok try_first_pass use_authtok
password required pam_deny.so
session optional pam_keyinit.so revoke
session required pam_limits.so
session [success=1 default=ignore] pam_succeed_if.so service in crond quiet use_uid
session required pam_unix.so
what should I modify to be able to change the root password being root user ?
thanks fyh
