Jacques' versions of linuxconf have at least in the past overridden the password command; the rh* versions do not do so. If you upgraded from one of Jacques' versions to one of our versions, I could imagine this happening. However, it is certainly not clear to me why reinstalling passwd doesn't fix the problem, in that case. "locate passwd" might tell you where an existing passwd binary is hanging out. "rpm -V passwd" might help too? michaelkjohnson "Magazines all too frequently lead to books and should be regarded by the prudent as the heavy petting of literature." -- Fran Lebowitz Linux Application Development http://www.redhat.com/~johnsonm/lad/ --- You are currently subscribed to linuxconf as: [[email protected]] To unsubscribe, forward this message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
