if you change the password, did you use usermod -p CRYPTEDPASSWORD or did you use a plaintext password? if plaintext, read man usermod again ;)
Thanks, that's it. Just checked google on how to crypt passwords. Well... How am I supposed to crypt the password? man crypt returns the man for crypt.h and 'whereis crypt' also points me to the same header file. Is there a tool for that?
Hmm, i didn't find anything. The crypt-command is in the systemlibraries, no shell-command. And i know no shell-command which gives the crypted-password on stdout.
with a bit of perl knowledge that should help: http://nntp.x.perl.org/group/perl.crypto/45 have fun
