Subject: passwd
My problem that exists with passwd is when regular users try to change their passwords, they get this message -
passwd: error opening database: /etc/pwd.db.: Permission denied passwd: /etc/master.passwd: unchanged
I've search and came up with nothing really but some things I've
tried is adding the users to the wheel group, remaking the pwd
database file and even setting pwd.db to 777 and still permission
was denied.
644 should be the proper permission on /etc/pwd.db. And is /usr/bin/passwd still setuid root?
Did you set any special flags on /etc/pwd.db? Like sunlnk, schg? (ls -lo will tell). And what are the permissions on /etc itself?

I didn't change passwd or anything related to it at all and I think this has existed since the install since it has been brought to my attention just recently but I didn't notice it before since I was always root and changed my passwords from there.
