Mastaler) Newsgroups: comp.unix.bsd.bsdi.misc Subject: chpass not working (BSD/OS 2.0) Date: 14 Jan 1996 18:05:04 -0500 Organization: Atlanta Webmasters Lines: 16 Sender: jason@xxx.webmaster.net Message-ID: <x5wx6u4btq.fsf@xxx.webmaster.net> NNTP-Posting-Host: xxx.webmaster.net X-Newsreader: Gnus v5.0.13 The "chpass" command does not work correctly on many of my BSD/OS 2.0 systems, but works fine on others. When I run the command on some systems, all I get back is a "no changes made" message instead of being put into an editor for changes. bsd:~> chpass chpass: no changes made bsd:~> chpass jason chpass: no changes made On other systems, chpass works perfectly. Any ideas why I am getting the above? I find it convenient to edit the user database information with an editor. Thanks much. -- Jason
