Sorry about this -- answering my own question.
The problem was passwd.lock. Deleted and it works fine. However, in general
it is better to:
rm *- (passwd-, shadow-,
etc)
rm ptmp
rm *.lock (passwd.lock, etc)
Make sure before you do that you are only getting passwd, shadow, and
group.

I was operating remotely, changing a password for a user and got the
message: segmentation fault. I went to the server and looked over the files and
the processes and found nothing. So, I ran the passwd program again and this
time I got: passwd is locked. Try again later.
So what's the deal?
Thanks in advance.
