Passwd-Permission denied

807559Oct 27 2007 — edited Oct 30 2007
Hi friends,
I am having some problem in changing the passwd for the users please help me in this issue.

Details:
I cant able to change the passwd for root and normal users as root itself. The mesg "Permission denied" is shown when i attempt to change. we are not using NIS also. The permission for the files are seem to be correct such as /etc/passwd is 444 and /etc/shadow is 400 and entries in these files are also correct.

With Regards,
Arun.S
