I notice on my Linux box two different passwd files:
/etc/passwd
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root          923 May 24 19:56 passwd

/usr/bin/passwd:
-r-s--x--x    1 root     root        12244 Feb  7 16:20 passwd

What are they doing? I know the "s" has something to do with sticky bit
stuff. Can someone explain?
