Hello,

we have jupyterhub (version 0.6.1) running in a docker (version 1.10.3) 
container with Centos 7.2.1511 . 
The authentication is performed by PAM which works fine because we mapped 
the following files:
*-v /etc/pam.d:/etc/pam.d -v /etc/passwd:/etc/passwd  -v 
/etc/shadow:/etc/shadow* 

However, when we change a user PW with *passwd* on the host system (also 
Centos 7.2.1511) without restarting the docker container, the user can not 
log onto the jupyterhub and more and 
PAM raises an authentication error: 

*PAM Authentication failed (user@ip): [PAM Error 7] Authentication failure*

The same applies when adding a new user on the host system with *adduser*: 
Here, the following error occurs:
*PAM Authentication failed **(user@ip): [PAM Error 3] Error in service module*

Is it necessary to restart the jupyterhub after changes of /etc/passwd or is 
this an issue with the combination of docker and jupyterhub?
Is there a way around restarting the hub?

Thanks in advance for you comments!
Best,
Hannes
