Yes the user initially has a password. I used padl scripts to import all the users from a /etc/passwd file. So everyones password is what it was when we were just using flat password files. Once I import the user I can ftp to a server with the username and password fine. So I know I am using the correct password. But it is when I go to change it as the user when I have the problem. But like I said before once it is changed as the manager account, I can change it as the user. Thanks again.

Does the user initially have a password? How is it set? How do you
know that password is "rt#12345"?
