Why is usermod unable to modify accounts on hosts using pam_seos.so?

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • We are using usermod to change home directory of the user. The /etc/passwd file is getting updated but when the user logs in, it is still pointing to the old home directory.
  • What does the pam_seos.so module do?
  • Usermod is not reflecting correct default directory

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux
  • CA eTrust Access Control
  • pam_seos.so
  • /etc/passwd
  • /etc/group
  • /etc/shadow
