Lauderdale Lines: 30 I have a curious problem on my 3b1... Login: aaron Password: $ [that is, I log in okay] $ who am i aaron w4 Aug 12 08:01 $ passwd Changing password for LOGIN Permission denied. $ passwd aaron Old password:So what's happenning is: somewhere along the line, some things think I'm aaron, while others think I'm not. What's the story? I figure something might be wrong with my /etc/group or my /etc/passwd.
