Re: passwd command exists with db_lock.share permission denied

-rws--x--x 3 root bin 33024 Oct 17 2002 /usr/bin/passwd

Re: passwd command exists with db_lock.share permission denied

oh man. Ok - so the sotry is this: the guy or gal who built this system had chmodded -R some dirs to 0755.

the SUID flag fixed the problem.

Thanks a ton!
