cannot construct new passwords in Redhat 7.0?

Hi,

It seems I've got into problems with 'passwd' with Redhat 7.0. I cannot
create a new password for an account (it happened to be a newly created
account) as root:

% passwd foo
Changing password for user foo
New UNIX password:
Retype new UNIX password:
passwd: Authentication token manipulation error
%

Any hints anyone why this is the case? 
Thanks,
--Lars
