I think this is a bug.

/bin/passwd.real does not modify passwd.local; thus, any changes you
make get blown away before too long.  This makes it impossible for a
non-root private account owner to change his own password.

If I'm being braindead and not understanding private workstations and
accounts in the ACE, please let me know...

Thanks,
