As root it does an open("/etc/passwd", O_RDONLY) twice. Both times it |
| 5 |
gets a file handle. |

As user, same thing, but it also tries to open /etc/shadow RDONLY and, |
| 8 |
of course, gets a "Permission denied". |

There is also a |

|
| 12 |
write(2, "chage: PAM authentication failed"..., 33chage: PAM |
| 13 |
authentication failed) = 33 |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
But I've never seen this on my terminal when running w/o strace. |

In addition, in both cases it attempts to open a bunch |
| 18 |
of /usr/lib/locale/ files but most of them are "No such file or |
| 19 |
directory" I'm thinking this is normal though. |

It also tries to connect to /var/run/nscd/socket but fails but as I do |
| 22 |
not use nscd I assume that's normal as well. |
