sorry, before i read your message i compiled the chpass.c file and
overwrote the original.  maybe you were right.  i did a #file chpasswd and
it went:
chpasswd: setuid ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1
(FreeBSD), for FreeBSD 4.8, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), not
stripped

The error is gone although now i have another problem.

Now it says: Current password don't match with the password of the server.

back to looking for a solution again.. thanx for replying!
