#   (20Mhz) system.  The problem I have is with changing the password.
#   Logged in as "ast", I attempted to change the password. The ast
#   password remained unchanged, however the password field in the
#   entry for root in /etc/passwd was modified, assigning the new
#   password to root.


We have noticed the same problem, intermittently, here in our student
lab where some 25 students use Minix on 386 machines.
