passwd

My problem that exists with passwd is when regular users try to change 
their passwords, they get this message -

passwd: error opening database: /etc/pwd.db.: Permission denied
passwd: /etc/master.passwd: unchanged

I've search and came up with nothing really but some things I've tried 
is adding the users to the wheel group, remaking the pwd database file 
and even setting pwd.db to 777 and still permission was denied.

Any ideas?
