Hello & Help

1) linux 1.2.13
Users can read their mail from Windows with Eudora (e.g.) also if
they give a wrong user password (Why ???)

2) linux 2.0.18 - Red Hat
Users cannot change their password with passwd,
root cannot add a new user with adduser Error: /etc/passwd is locked
but it's possible from X11 utility (Why ???)
