Well, as far as I can say after running a couple of "quotacheck -av" and
/sbin/lilo (which both hung the machine, besides passwd), is that this
seems to be working ! I chmod'ed the passwd command back to 4711 and told
the users to change their passwords, so if nasties are still lurking,
they'll have to show up soon. I'll make slightly more detailed tests
(such as attempting to go over quota) this evening.
