Cannot change password?

[Nils Vogels]

Hi list!

After upgrading a test-box I have from a fine working 4.8-REL to a 5.1-REL, I
seem to be unable to change passwords from the commandline:

severe# passwd nivo
Changing local password for nivo
severe#

no password prompt, no nothing. When a user tries to change his own password,
the same thing happens.

Could anyone give me a hint where to start searching, in order to enable this
again ?

Grtz,

Nils.
