Hello,

I have just completed a new 1.5_ALPHA install and I have noticed that
the passwd command is not working the same as it did on 1.4Z.

Specifically, when I type "passwd" as root to change the root password
I simply see the following until I press CONTROL-C:

  # passwd
  ^C

If I try to specify the user I get the same results:

  # passwd -l root
  ^C

It is not until I use the "-l" parameter that this works:

  # passwd -l root 
  Changing local password for root.
  New password:
  Retype new password:
  #

On my 1.4Z system this is what I see when I try to hange the password for
root:

  palomino:root# passwd
  Changing local password for root.
  New password:
  Retype new password:
  palomino:root#

Any ideas what is causing this? My /etc/nsswitch.conf file is the same 
on the 1.5_ALPHA and 1.4Z systems... Some information that might be useful
is that the 1.5_ALPHA system is an isolated one (i.e., not on a network).

Brian
