Hi,
	First of all I'd like to say, I don't if the following is a problem, or the normal behaviour of the related commands, but I have to ask, sorry if this the proper functionality.

I have an old sparcstation5 without any other access method rather than ssh or serial, so I've configured sudo to do the normal maintenance from my user (sergio), also I've included "su -" ,in the sudo config, to switch to root.
Some minutes ago, I was changing the "/etc/passwd.conf" in order to use blowfish, then I've switched from "sergio" to "root" to update root's password, and my surprise was when I saw how sergio's password got changed and the root's still using the same. Look next lines, please:

----------

sergio@bender$ id
uid=1000(sergio) gid=100(users) groups=100(users)

sergio@bender$ sudo su -
Password:
Terminal type is screen.                                                                                
root@bender# id
uid=0(root) gid=0(wheel) groups=0(wheel),2(kmem),3(sys),4(tty),5(operator),20(staff),31(guest)

root@bender# passwd
Changing local password for sergio.

Anyone could explain what's going on here?

Regards.
