[webmin-l] Mac OS 10.4.6 and "Users and Groups" module password problem

[mistersquid <web...@mi...>]

I'm new to webmin and apologize, in advance, if I'm rehashing old  
ground or have overlooked something obvious. I have searched the  
archives and googled a bit but have turned up nothing definitive in a  
few hours of searching, though I did find something perhaps related here

	http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=14626558

My issue is that I am using

	System > Users and Groups > [username]

to change a the password for a user who is also a webmin user (I  
haven't tested users who are not webmin users). When I do so what  
results is

	1. BASH accepts both passwords in the context of "su [username]"
	2. webmin accepts only the new password
	3. POP3 using SSL accepts only the old password (I don't allow plain- 
text login traffic)

Regarding (1.) "su [username]", /var/log/system.log reports for the  
new password

	[...] com.apple.SecurityServer: Failed to authorize right  
system.login.tty by process /usr/bin/su for authorization created by / 
usr/bin/su.

even though the login prompt indicates a successful su, while for the  
old password /var/log/system.log yields

	[...] com.apple.SecurityServer: Succeeded authorizing right  
system.login.tty by process /usr/bin/su for authorization created by / 
usr/bin/su.

Any clues? Thank you in advance for any pointers and, again, my  
apologies if I've overlooked an already available resource.
