When I try to change the password of a unix user with passwd when winbind is
in my nsswitch.conf I get an error -
 
passwd: Unsupported nsswitch entry for "passwd:". Use "-r repository ".
Unexpected failure. Password file/table unchanged.
 
This is a Solaris 9 machine by the way.  My nsswitch.conf line looks like
this -
 
 passwd: files winbind
 
When I take winbind out I can use passwd to change unix user password again.
 
Any ideas?
