What were you trying to do?

Change root's password.

What's wrong:

Running 'passwd' gets the Athena (kpasswd) program.  This is perhaps
understand able.  However, when you select the Change User Password
from a smit menu, you get "Usage: kpasswd ....".

What should have happened:

Perhaps the Athena passwd progrm should be changed to 'kpasswd'.
Either that, or smit needs to be fixed to use /bin/passwd explicitly,
or the default path has to be changed.
