What were you trying to do?
	Change root's password

What's wrong:
	danw@antharia:~> su
	Password:
	danw@antharia:~# passwd
	Running local password-changing program for danw.

What should have happened:
	It should have said "Running local password-changing program
	for root."

	Failing that, it should have said "Running Kerberos
	password-changing program." It certainly should not have
	made the local/remote determination based on a different
	concept of what user I was than it was using to determine
	by username.

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
