[root@POS01828A etc]# passwd root Changing password for user root. passwd: Authentication token manipulation error Please advise. Thanks Ashutosh |
this is redhat , so you do have the required support contract ?
right? also 5.4 is 6 versions and 3 years out of date the current in the older legacy 5 series is RHEL 5.10 have you done a search of the redhat knowledgebase ? https://access.redhat.com/search/bro...#?&language=en you will need to login to redhat web site with the credentials you set up with the license |
