My sever got a problem . everytime my cilent change cpanel password under cpanel it all show a message :

Here is the result of your request

spawn /usr/bin/passwd t

And password can not be change . Anybody know about it ? Please help !!!!! :bawling:

Hi,

I Hope this may be a bug in cpanel. You can directly change the cpanel password in

WHM -> Account Functions -> Password Modification.

Otherwise you can edit the/etc/passwd,/etc/shadow/,/etc/group files and delete the password entry. and use the \"passwd\" command to add a new password.

Then run the \"sync\" command to synchronize it.

Regards,

yes , but i want my cilent can modify their password . :( . Nobody know what is "spawn /usr/bin/passwd t " mean ? :(

To solve this issue...............
Please try the latest edge version, it should pass error messages from passwd along better.

=======================
Note: try changing the users password from a shell to see why the password won't change.

As far as it goes, seems to be outstanding and many who tried what blessen pasted (a quote from nick) says it didn't work.. but this is the source : http://forums.cpanel.net/showthread.php?s=&threadid=18511&perpage=15&highlight=spawn%20/usr/bin/passwd%20t&pagenumber=1

is the issue resolved.....

What cPanel theme are you using? If you are using an outdated one such as bluelagoon or the old xskin you might want to migrate to a newer supported skin.

i am in WHM 8.8 , redhat 9 . I'v got this problem 2 month ago , and it doesnt fix even i'v update my cpanel a few times before . Last night i update my WHM to WHM 8.8.0 cPanel 8.8.0-S74
RedHat 9 - WHM X v2.1.2 , but it still not fix . :) . I can change password via WHM , but my cilent cant change it via cpanel .

ps : change cpanel theme does not effect . :)

Well perhaps your client is trying to use too simple a password. Try changing password in shell and see if there's any error message.

Thanks speintserve , but i'v try a lot of password and it still can't change . I know a simple password problem in cpanel but this is not . :(
