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.
