It should, like the other systems,

# passwd root

New password:

No this is not "Trusted Solaris OS." Comparing its sister server and both have passwd points to '/usr/bin/passwd'This problem is similar but mine is with Solaris 8 not Solaris9 example in:

pam_krb5's password management should not be prompting for old or for new passwords

/etc/pam.conf was missing the following line:passwd auth required pam_passwd_auth.so.1
