We have two machine for users to log into, they round robin to the same
name. One one I am able to change password fine:
[sdutta at login2 ~]$ passwd
Changing password for user sdutta.
Kerberos 5 Password:
New UNIX password: 
Retype new UNIX password:
passwd: all authentication tokens updated successfully.
[sdutta at login2 ~]$ 

On the other machine I get:
[sdutta at hlogin1 ~]$ passwd
Changing password for user sdutta.
Kerberos 5 Password:
Kerberos 5 Password:
New UNIX password: 
Retype new UNIX password:
passwd: Authentication token manipulation error
[sdutta at login1 ~]$ 


The server says (in the first case):
