Revision 1.18 of pw_util.c (fix for security advisory "chpass" 00:58)
introduces a cosmetic bug which manifests itself as such:
> passwd
Changing local password for dima.
Old password:
passwd: (null): Permission denied
^^^^^^^^^
passwd: /etc/master.passwd: unchanged
Only machines *not* using NIS will display this, since passwd(1) acts
differently when changing an NIS password. Trivial patch to fix this
is attached below.
Thanks,
Dima Dorfman
