Tried to reset my password, it throws error as below.
Logged in as root and tried, still throwing the same error.
| bash-2.05# passwd lotus New Password: Re-enter new Password: passwd: Unexpected failure. Password database unchanged. Permission denied |
| bash-2.05# useradd test UX: useradd: ERROR: Cannot update system files – login cannot be created. |
Solution : –
This error occurs when your root ( / ) is full. Check using df –h
| bash-2.05# df -h Filesystem size used avail capacity Mounted on /dev/md/dsk/d0 3.9G 3.9G 0K 100% / /dev/md/dsk/d40 4.8G 1.5G 3.3G 32% /usr fd 0K 0K 0K 0% /dev/fd /dev/md/dsk/d30 3.9G 469M 3.4G 12% /var swap 6.5G 176K 6.5G 1% /var/run swap 6.5G 136K 6.5G 1% /tmp /dev/md/dsk/d120 20G 19G 302M 99% /opt Root is 100% full, remove or move the files that are not required in root directory.
