Nope..
Firewall is on but no selinux
That was the most obvious so....
check the permissions on /usr/bin/passwd. S/B something like:
-r-s--x--x 1 root root 19336 Sep 7 2004 /usr/bin/passwd
the passwd and shadow files:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1784 Feb 17 2005 /etc/passwd
-r-------- 1 root root 1162 Feb 17 2005 /etc/shadow
If the above are all copacetic, try running passwd from strace as a user:
$ strace passwd
A blood sacrifice of a small mammal might help too :-)

Ok I need some help. I have RedHat 3 update4 installed on multiple
servers. I created some accounts for users with the root ID. When they
log in they cannot change their password. If they try with the passwd
command they receive this error message, passwd: Authentication token
manipulation error. I think this may have something to do with the
fact that I recently had to change the umask of root to 077 because of
auditors.
Any thoughts you have on whats going on or how to fix this would be
greatly appreciated.
Did you enable selinux?
