I happened to get a very interesting problem. When my fellow users tried to change their password using the passwd command, the following error message show up : passwd changed elsewhere, passwd database unchanged However if I login as root, I have no problem changing their password using the passwd command. Can anyone tell me what is the problem with my setup ? Urgently need HELP !!! Neo neo@technet.sg
