This is off topic, but I am not sure where to go. I have a local user who cannot login because of a forgotten password, so I went to reset her password with sudo passed <user> Which appears to work, asking for a new password and a confirmation. No error occurs (unless I give it unmatched passwords), but the password is not changed. if I try to change the password in the user's account (after su <user>) t requires the old password. running on FreeBSD 11.0 When I try to change the password with sudo, the timestamp on /etc/passwd gets updated but there is nothing logged to anything in /var/log/
