using passwd with 389

[Chaudhari, Rohit K.]

Hello,

I want to be able to use the Unix "passwd" command to reset a LDAP user's password from the command line.  However, I keep getting an authentication token manipulation error whenever I try to reset the password using that command.  What do I need to do in the 389 DS or on Unix in order to get this command to work?

Thanks,

Rohit

Why don't you use the "ldappasswd" command instead?
