Re: passwd: Authentication token manipulation error
rpm -V passwd
command. Output of this command should be empty if everything is OK.

Re: passwd: Authentication token manipulation error
Is it possible you never set an initial password for the users you created with root ?
Try first setting a password with root for
the users you created.
Login with one of the created users and try passwd then.
Hope this helps.
S.

Re: passwd: Authentication token manipulation error
Possible... but not the case. I create the id, set the password, log in for the first time using that password, go to change the password, and then I get the error:
passwd: Authentication token manipulation error
thx

Re: passwd: Authentication token manipulation error
Check permissions for the /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow file.
/etc/passwd root.root -rw-r--r--
/etc/shadow root.root -r--------
