Howdy,

just now I found out that users can not use "passwd" in the same time.
When someone uses "passwd" and another one run it concurrently, second
"passwd" is waiting for ending of first "passwd". :-((

After I dispel "Linux-PAM" and recast "shadow" users can change their
password concurrently.
Is it a bug or new feature of PAM ?
I tried it on last Mandrake and Red Hat too. The result is similar,
probably it is a new feature of PAM.

When I run "man passwd" I found out that spells "openssl" and "shadow"
contain the man page with the same name "passwd"
"/usr/share/man/man.1/passwd.1"
So output of "man passwd" depends on order of instalation of these
spells.
