Synopsis: Passwd will not work when root su's into a user. State-Changed-From-To: open->closed State-Changed-By: cjc State-Changed-When: Mon Jun 17 22:04:29 PDT 2002 State-Changed-Why: As you mention, the fix is simply to give passwd(1) the user's name as an argument. When logged in as root, # passwd user To change 'user's password rather than bothering to su(1) to the user. This is the intended and desired behavior. http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=39382 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
