Perhaps the file permissions are off. Here they are off of FreeBSD 4.5 /etc# ls -loaF *pwd.db *passwd* /usr/bin/passwd -r-sr-xr-x 2 root wheel - 30776 Jan 28 05:15 /usr/bin/passwd* -rw------- 1 root wheel - 1182 Apr 1 17:13 master.passwd -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel - 1059 Apr 1 17:13 passwd -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel - 40960 Apr 1 17:13 pwd.db -rw------- 1 root wheel - 40960 Apr 1 17:13 spwd.db The samba password sounds like it could have a problem other than permissions.
