Always tries to change password for administrative user
Brought to you by:

I want to change the password of user "adam". So I
type passwd addam and the following occurs:
passwd adam
Changing password for adam.
Password for Administrative user 'Administrator':
<type in admin's password here>
New password: <type in desired password for adam here>
Retype new password: <type in desired password for
adam here>
This changes the password of the Administrator, not for
adam. So the patched passwd only wants to change the
administrative user's password, not the user's password.

hmmm, that's not good.
Admittedly, the patch did not get as much beta testing due
to less interest.

This is a really great project by the way, thanks!
I haven't tested and re-tested, but this apparently only
happens when I am logged in as administrator, and either use
passwd adam
or
su adam
(enter password)
passwd
If I am actually logged into the console as adam all works fine.
