That's actually strange.....
>From /usr/src/usr.bin/passwd/passwd.c :
/* check where the user's from */
switch (pwd->pw_fields & _PWF_SOURCE) {
case _PWF_FILES:
fprintf(stderr, "Changing local password for %s\n",
pwd->pw_name);
break;
case _PWF_NIS:
fprintf(stderr, "Changing NIS password for %s\n",
pwd->pw_name);
break;
default:
/* XXX: Green men ought to be supported via PAM. */
errx(1,
"Sorry, `passwd' can only change passwords for local or NIS
users.");
}
So it doesn't want to change passwords for non-local users.
However, if you take a look at this source file, after these lines come
a bunch of PAM calls...
So, is it safe to comment out the errx and recompile passwd ?
