[WBEL-users] Can't telnet into box with user account, problems changing password

[Michael Salsman]

I was attempting to telnet to a box that I have WBEL 3.0, and get a 
"Login incorrect" when using a general user account that I created as 
root.  I can telnet in as root, since I renamed the /etc/securetty file.

When I su to that user account, and then attempt to change the password 
with the passwd command, I get the following error:

passwd: Authentication token manipulation error

I installed as a Server, then customized by adding a few packages.

Any thoughts?
