Issue/Introduction

When we try to change a password in selang mode to an existing account on PAMSC and on the system, whatever the account we always have the same error below :

PAMSC> cu usertest pwasown('**************')
(localhost)
Successfully updated USER usertest
(localhost)
Native:

WARNING: Failed to change owner for file /home/usertest
No such file or directory
Successfully updated USER usertest

The password is changed but we want to fix the warning message.

The posix rights are correct on the system.
