What were you trying to do?
change my password
What's wrong:
the decstation is different from regular athena workstations in that
it actually keeps a copy of my encrypted passwd in /etc/passwd
I tried to change my password using the passwd command, but
it didn't change it with kerberos, as I would have expected.
It did change it in the local /etc/passwd file (but not, of course
in /etc/passwd.local) this caused a bit of confusion...
What should have happened:
the athena passwd command usually changes kerberos passwd
as well.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
/etc/passwd
