Umm, i'm not sure if this is intended feature, but going to setup/news password
is trying to invoke shell 'passwd' command which would change the shell
password, i may be wrong, but i thought that 'news password' would be an option
where i can set my [remote] news servers password, not my shell password ? 

                                                Dingo.

                                      ).|.(
                                    '.`___'.`
                                   ' `(>~<)' `

Umm where do you see "news password"? All I can see (Pine 4.21) is "New
Password" which as far as I can remember was always a feature to change my
unix (login) password.
