The unanimous reply was to set the file permissions for passwd executable to:
-r-sr-sr-x 3 root sys
The passwd program needs to be setuid root to work properly.
By mistake,I had changed the ownerships to 'bin'. I restored the
ownership and permissions and the problem was rectified.
Thanks & Regards
John Black
