Thanks for your reply! This is not for the root account, this is for my user-account. I'm definitely not accidentally changing it and I am pretty sure nobody is playing a trick on me. The last time this happened it was only a few minutes between two lock-outs (see below) and when I checked with "last", nobody had been in the machine except me. Also I checked with "ls -lt" in /etc and nothing was changed recently, that is all passwd-files and pwd-files were untouched since my last password-change.
