Thank you for the response.
Platform is Sparc Solaris 8, with 2 or 3 Solaris 7s.

Please don't use patches 10 or 11, I've just found that they don't
correctly check for successful password change.  I'm working on it now.

Patches 9 and up are against the current CVS tree and not 3.5p1 and
won't apply cleanly (ie you'll need to fix conflicts yourself).

What platform are you using?  There are a couple of patches that apply
to 3.5p1 but the one to use depends on your platform.
