Description:
Passwd returns a non-zero exit status even when it has set
the password correctly. This causes any programs which
look at the status to see if the password was set to fail.
Repeat-By:
< use csh >
% passwd anyuser
< set the password correctly >
% echo $status
< the value will be non-zero >
Fix:
This is not necessarily the best fix, but is short and works!
