Hi-
I use a hidden ssh account for all of my admin functions on my
clients. No use of a >500 UID account. I have the JSS spinning the
passwords on the account to a random 16 character password due to high
security environment.
Some of the machines, the account password has become de-syncronized
whereby the user needs to locally authenticate in Self Service (they
normally don't need to) and I can't remote into the machine. They do
normally check in for policies though. All indications to me seems to
be that the JSS stored password and the password on the machine aren't
the same.
What's the easiest, least user impacting way to fix this?
Thanks
