In that case the easiest thing to do is to work around the issue by updating the ODM classes.<br /><br />if you are in a consistent state, you upgrade fileset bos.net.nfs.client to version 5.3.10.1<br /><br />Tim http:///posts/2010/07/07/troubleboard/1278515000 http:///posts/2010/07/07/troubleboard/1278515000 AIX User Group Forum/Troubleshooting help for your issues Thu, 05 Aug 2010 02:53:27 +0000 I used &quot;lppbuild&quot; to create bff package, it's a handy tool which can also handle pre-post installation stuff.<br />If you have troubles fiding or using lppbuild, send me the contents, I will create the package for you (takes max 30 minutes)<br /><br />Tim http:///posts/2009/03/31/download/1238531910 http:///posts/2009/03/31/download/1238531910 AIX User Group Forum/Downloads Fri, 30 Jul 2010 08:57:12 +0000 Ok, have some questions, and some info..<br />1) try /usr/bin/chpasswd &nbsp; &nbsp;very powerful tool for automation<br />via stdin &nbsp;you give it userid:password (list of many if you want to change 50 id's at once (1 id per record)<br />-c flag &nbsp;(removes admchg flag in /etc/security/passwd<br />-e flag says the password you're providing is already encrypted (good if you want to override pwd_alg in /etc/security/loign.cfg<br /><br />QUesiton to you.. what do you mean &quot;reset&quot;??<br />as in set it &quot;back&quot; to seomthing? that implies you have a list of what that previous &quot;something&quot; was which can be a security risk in itself.<br />If you just want to reset failed login attemts.. .use chuser<br /><br />guess I'm not clear on what you're trying to accomplish... can you give an example of how this would be used.. http:///posts/2010/07/27/troubleboard/1280243573 http:///posts/2010/07/27/troubleboard/1280243573 AIX User Group Forum/Troubleshooting help for your issues Tue, 27 Jul 2010 10:12:52 +0000 Finally I was able to compile PHP on AIX.
