passwd(1) weirdness...

[Matthew Seaman]

Has anyone else seen an affect like this?

We have a couple of machines running 9.2-RELEASE-p3 recently upgraded
from 9.1-RELEASE-pX via freebsd-update.

On attempting to change a user's password via passwd(1), everything
apparently works fine; no sign of any errors and the password hash in
/etc/master.passwd is changed -- but the user cannot log in with the new
password *until* 'pwd_mkdb -p' is run manually.

This is a pretty plain-vanilla system just using the local password
database.

	Cheers,

	Matthew
