Hrmmm...I don't know what's wrong then. Assuming that you have shadow passwords enabled, /etc/passwd should be owner/group == root and should have 644 permissions (-rw-r--r--); and /etc/shadow should be owner/group == root and should have 600 permissions (-rw-------). You might also check the attributes of those two files with the "lsattr" command. Perhaps they somehow got the "immutable" flag set (the output of lsattr should be a bunch of dashes). Are you running Seawolf? Have you recently applied the system updates or done anything else that may have affected the PAM libraries, or shadow-utils?
