Interesting. I tried the same method, and I can't get it to work. Here's
I did:
1. Copied the /etc/pam.conf file from one of our alpha boxes that will let
users change passwords to the offending machine.
2. Deleted the .pwd.lock file in /etc

I still get the following error:

Password:
New password:
New password (again):
Error: Password NOT changed
passwd: Authentication token manipulation error

This is most definitely wierd. Anyone else got a solution?

Eric.
