I am trying to change the password of my root and other users. When I try it using passwd it takes me to another prompt without asking the new password. As in:
[root@southapp2 ~]# passwd
[root@southapp2 root]#
passwd

What Unix is this? Could you show the output oftype passwd? I'm assuming you are doing this as the root user?

Hi Kusala, I am using RHEL 6.1 and trying this as root user, and I tried with other users as well. When I type passwd the output is as follows. [gopal@southapp2 ~]$ passwd [root@southapp2 gopal]#
