Planning and Configuring HP-UX DCE 2.0

HP-UX Integrated Login
Notes, Cautions, and Warnings
Chapter 790
DCE passwords are global to a network, whereas the Commercial
Security passwords are local to a single system. To change a
password when using DCE with Commercial Security, first change it
for HP-UX and DCE on one system. This can be done in one step with
the passwd command, provided the new password chosen is
acceptable to both HP-UX and DCE. Then change it on all the other
HP-UX systems on which you have an account by using the passwd
command with the -r option.
NOTE Users logged in to a foreign cell cannot use the passwd command to
change a password.
