Unable to change password...

[Xshare]

I get the following error:

open2: exec of /usr/local/cpanel/bin/securechpass failed at Cpanel/Passwd.pm line 32

Any ideas?

Umm.. this is the cpanel password... of course.

I am currently getting this same error message whenever I go to change the password in Cpanel. I'm using the latest 7.x version on FreeBSD and have tried changing the password on two different skins and the error keeps coming up.

If anybody has any suggestions as to what I can do to fix this, I would really appreciate it.

Same here ... FreeBSD, last Stable Build, and cant change password!!

Solution (from SSH):

cd /usr/ports/lang/expect
make install


done

Note there is a patch at http://spacetime.cpanel.net/patch-zz kindly forwarded by Michael Photakis (cpanel support dude) which resolves this issue on FreeBSD. Save that file into /usr/ports/lang/expect/files and run 'make clean install -DWITHOUT_X11' and that should do the job.

For the record the content of the patch file is here. Save it to /usr/ports/lang/expect/files/patch-zz:

The problem has been reported to the FreeBSD team as well, so hopefully the patch will be added to the official port tree in the near future.
