Done that, but FreeBSD pops up the following message:

rafiu# chmod go-x /usr/bin/passwd
chmod: /usr/bin/passwd: Operation not permitted

(Yes I am running as root!)

Heres my system info:

FreeBSD 4.2-STABLE #2: Fri Mar  2 14:32:31 GMT 2001    
root@:/usr/src/sys/compile/RAFIU

Any ideas?!

Thanks,

Jamie
