Dear All:

I put a Web page in my server to allowing user to change password.  I 
use the cgi program "change-password" from NCSA (Sorry if I am wrong).  
It seems it worked fine.

However, I encounter a problem that when the user change the password 
with the page, they cannot login again with either old or new password.

I find out that the encryted string for the changed password becomes 
"p4..........." in the password files...

What's wrong with my setup?

Thanks,
