All of this tried on a VS2 running 6.0R.

If I enter my root instance password for the "old password", it complains:
    Toto>passwd -i root
    Old password: 
    Incorrect old password
    Toto>

It accepts my null instance password, but then is unable to make the
specified change:
    Toto>passwd -i root
    Old password: 
    New Password for mar.root: 
    New Password for mar.root: 
    admin_util: admin_server reports error
    Toto>where passwd
    /usr/athena/passwd
    Toto>

As a workaround, kchpass does the right thing.
