Yep, I tried it and that doesn't fix it.  Here's a log of what I did:

paradise: {5} chown root passwd
paradise: {6} passwd
passwd: /etc/master.passwd: Permission denied
paradise: {7} chmod 4555 passwd
paradise: {8} passwd
passwd: /etc/master.passwd: Permission denied
paradise: {9} ls -al *passwd*
-rw-------  1 root  wheel  1182 Mar 26 20:01 master.passwd
-r-sr-xr-x  1 root  wheel   933 Mar 26 20:01 passwd
paradise: {10} 

Okay, no can do, so changed it back to the way it was:
paradise: {17} ls -al *passwd*
-rw-------  1 root  wheel  1182 Mar 26 20:01 master.passwd
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel   933 Mar 26 20:01 passwd
paradise: {18} passwd
passwd: /etc/master.passwd: Permission denied
paradise: {19} 

Any ideas?  I think passwd is broken in the new snap release.  I'll try 
the passwd command from the older snap and see if that fixes the problem.
