HI,
my problem was:
I have a problam on Solaris 2.5.
I have 2 users ,one of them with password and one without.
On the Solaris 2.4 the user with password login and can do su two the one
without password.
On onother machine with Solaris 2.5 OS the user with password ry to do su to
the second user and got this message:
"Passwd for user 'user2' has expired - use passwd(1) to update it"
The ypmath for user2 is :
"user2::100:10:Reshet Data Base Master(sunxxx):/usr1/master:/bin/csh"

Dose anyone can help me with this problem ???

THE ANSWER:
================
There maybe a "bug" with the "su" command in Solaris 2.5.
THE solution is to move the su command to a different location and copy the
su command from Solaris 2.4. That fixed the problem.

There other answers :
1) You must have a password for ALL users. Solaris is becoming more strict
with requiring passwords, so just choose an easy password for the second
user and you should be ok.
2) Chane the expire for passwd.

Thankt to:
