This is off topic, but I am not sure where to go.
I have a local user who cannot login because of a forgotten password, so I went to reset her password with
sudo passed <user>
Which appears to work, asking for a new password and a confirmation. No error occurs (unless I give it unmatched passwords), but the password is not changed.
if I try to change the password in the user's account (after su <user>) t requires the old password.
running on FreeBSD 11.0
When I try to change the password with sudo, the timestamp on /etc/passwd gets updated but there is nothing logged to anything in /var/log/

No difference.
No difference when logging in to the console as root.

After you did so, where does the passwort *not* work? In Dovecot? doveadm auth cache flush <user>
if I try to change the password in the user's account (after su <user>) t requires the old password. even after sudo passwd?

Hmm, does the entry in /etc/passwd change, too?

/etc/shadow should get updated but not /etc/passwd ! make a copy of /etc/passwd before the change and look at the diff

I never got as far as checking in dovecot. It did not work from the command line.

Right.

There is no obvious change in the passwd file. I haven't tried to look in spwf.db, but its time stamp also changes.
