    Folks,

    i´m trying to change user passwords using apache. to do so i´m using
    chpasswd.
    when i login as root and issue
    # echo "user:pass"|chpasswd

    the password is correctly changed.
    but when i try as a non-root user (i.e. apache) i get
    chpasswd: can't lock password file

    any hint what i´m missing?
    is there any caveat for this?

    best regards
