can't change user password

in Oracle Solaris System Administration (MOSC) 3 commentsAnswered ✓

Hello,

I am using Oracle Solaris 11.3 SPARC with samba package installed.

as a root user, I created a new user (lets say user01) and I want to define user password (passwd user01), just after entering the new password and before retyping it, I got this error message " Unexpected Failure. Password File/table Unchanged".

so I tried several things (check: /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow, /etc/nsswitch, /etc/default/passwd, …, permissions on these files, … and all seems to be OK!

I did a truss command (truss passwd user01), and I see that it made a call to smbpasswd command :

stat64("/usr/lib/security//pam_smb_passwd.so.1",0xFC1E1670) Err#2 ENOENT
