	Back again...

	I've found out that the su can change passwords but, the
	other users can not.  I checked the files in /usr/bin to
	the original files and there is no difference.  I even 
	recopied them over with still no change in the problem.

	The problem seems to be related to permissions but, they
	all check out the same as the original files -- plus, the
	version on floppy works.  My next step would be to put 
	some debug statements in the passwd.c source and track it
	from there but, the version of MINIX they bought here at
	school did not come with the C compiler.

	Any hints?

	Thanks again,

	Patrick McCormick
