Thanks to all who helped me with the passwd problem. The commands to change the perms and owner did work but, a listing showed me this... (before the fact) # ls -l /usr/bin/passwd -rwsr-xr-x root ... I still went along and chown'ed and chmod'ed and it then worked. Would copying the file from a floppy to the hard disk affect the SUID bit? (If I did it when I was not su?) Thanks again!
