- I just installed SLS .99 acouple days ago, and only root is able
- to change passwords. /bin/passwd replies unable to change password
- and password locked for user.
-
- /bin/passwd is -rwsr-xr-x
- /etc/passwd is -rw-r--r--
- /etc/shadow is -rw-------
-
- I thought I saw a question about this the other day and the reply was
- to apply the fix files, but when I got SLS, there were no fix files
- on disks a or b series and there have been none since then.
-
- Passwords are expiring after one day for none root users also.
