I have installed Colgate from the cdrom. When I try to change any passwd's
I get "Authentication Token Minipulation Error". I have Done all of the updates
and checked for the format of the /etc/pam.conf and it appears that all of the 
passwd entries are ok. ie none with a + in it. Can anybody help me or do I
have to send a request to support? Since I read this list every day I just
thought it might be easier. Just to be sure here is the results of a
grep passwd /etc/pam.conf: 

passwd	auth       required	/lib/security/pam_unix_auth.so	
passwd	account    required	/lib/security/pam_unix_acct.so	
passwd	password   required	/lib/security/pam_unix_passwd.so	
 Also there does not seem to be a man page for pam. Is this correct or 
did I miss something during the install?
