Ok, I finally figured out what was going on. Thanks to
Brian Scanlan for
mentionally pam modules. I found the following line in my
pam.conf that was
causing the problem:
other password required /usr/lib/security/pam_sso.so.1
try_firts_pass
I have no idea when this got added. Almost everyone
mentioned
doing a truss. Unfortunately, it did not show the opening
of the passwd command. Very weird, but it works now.
Thanks!
