Ok the mystery continues. On another box, strider, "chage -l" works so |
| 2 |
this is what I did (don't try this at home): |
| 3 |
|
| 4 |
$ mkdir /tmp/strider_passwd |
| 5 |
$ scp strider:/etc/passwd /tmp/strider_passwd |
| 6 |
$ scp strider:/etc/shadow /tmp/strider_passwd |
| 7 |
$ mv /etc/passwd /etc/passwd.orig |
| 8 |
$ mv /etc/shadow /etc/shadow.orig |
| 9 |
$ mv /tmp/strider_passwd/passwd /etc |
| 10 |
$ mv /tmp/strider_passwd/shadow /etc |
| 11 |
$ ls -l /etc/passwd /etc/shadow |
| 12 |
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1314 2007-09-18 16:23 /etc/passwd |
| 13 |
-rw------- 1 root root 625 2007-09-18 16:23 /etc/shadow |
| 14 |
$ chage -l marduk |
| 15 |
chage: can't open password file |

I'm running out of ideas. This used to work up until about a month ago. |

BTW I was going to try also copying group/gshadow from strider but, oddly enough, |
| 20 |
strider doesn't have an /etc/gshadow. |
