Everything is fine...

[root@test etc]# passwd mathew
Changing password for user mathew.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Doesn't work...


Secure logins however still work 100%:
[root@test etc]# ssh -l mathew localhost
mathew@localhost's password: testingtesting
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Works 100%...


Only things being logged in /var/log/messages are:

mathew
