Hey all, I'm having a bit of trouble. When regular, non-wheel users type passwd, they get "permission denied". They don't get prompted for their old password, it's just permission denied. I've verified the permissions on /usr/bin/passwd are r-sr-xr-x, and users are able to run yppasswd (which diffs as the SAME PROGRAM), so I think it's actually passwd reporting the error, rather than the shell. Root and members of the wheel group are able to use passwd normally. This is under 4.5-STABLE. -Dan Mahoney PS, Please reply directly, I'm not subscribed. -- "It would be bad." -Egon Spengler, "Ghostbusters" --------Dan Mahoney-------- Techie, Sysadmin, WebGeek Gushi on efnet/undernet IRC ICQ: 13735144 AIM: LarpGM Web: http://prime.gushi.org finger danm@prime.gushi.org for pgp public key and tel# --------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
