Hello.

You can check the permissions to 755.

Hello.

You can check the permissions to 755.

Usually permissions for /etc/passwd are -rw-r--r-- or 644 in other terms. Changing the default permission is not recommended.

 

[alpc360]

Yes, but some distros take 755.

Editted:

I meant chmod 4511 /usr/bin/passwd I was thinking something different

No its not... its 644. I really hope you were joking, but someone would change it.

For cPanel it is 4755 :D
