 Until "recently" I never had any problems with "passwd". But many of my
users cannot change their passwords anymore:

~~>passwd
passwd: Permission denied

~~>ls -l /usr/bin/passwd
-r-sr-xr-x  2 root  wheel  17800 Nov 26 14:24 /usr/bin/passwd

 /etc/passwd.conf was never touched, it is still unchanged:

#       $NetBSD: passwd.conf,v 1.2 2002/04/15 07:48:00 ad Exp $
#
# passwd.conf(5) -
#       password configuration file
#

#default:
#       localcipher = md5
#       ypcipher = old


 How comes? What am I missing?
