'passwd: Autentication failure' when trying to change the password on RHEL5
Issue
I got 'passwd: Autentication failure' when I tried to change the password for the user whose UID is not particular UID, where is 800 is the particular UID. But Password was changed successfully with the error messages. I want to avoid the error message.
sample configuration is below.
