>Description:

	Boot the system, use the password command.  It works fine.
	Now rebuild and install the password command.  Try and use it
	again, WTF?!

jkh@red-> passwd jkh
passwd: Permission denied
jkh@red-> ls -l /usr/bin/passwd
-r-sr-xr-x  2 root  bin  37629 Nov  2 18:51 /usr/bin/passwd
/usr/bin/passwd
passwd: Permission denied

	Do the above.

>Fix:
