DNS. Somewhere down the line DNS was not responding. Apparently after some timeout the nameserver used /etc/hosts instead. This confused me 'cuz I came from the BSDI world were we didn't have this feature. As to the passwd permission denied. /usr/bin/passwd was owned by bin instead of root. I understand the DNS problem. How /usr/bin/passwd got owned by bin I suppose I'll never know. This just goes to show you the many healing properties of posting to the net or mailing lists. I spent may 2 hours struggling with the problems. Though once I posted to freebsd-questions@freebsd.org, all became clear and in a matters of minutes all was better. Brian Litzinger brian@easynet.com
