<I>> You are aware that this is the passwd program is prompting for the new password for root, not sudo asking for the current password for root, aren't you?</I><P>
I wasn't aware of that possibility and it definitely wasn't the case here. The system has a single root user and several non-root users, I don't use the root account for anything but system maintenance.<P>
