Your lppasswd is SUID nobody, so it runs always as the user nobody, even 
if you start it as root. It should most probably SUID root (do "chown 
root.sys /usr/bin/lppasswd; chmod u+s /usr/bin/lppasswd" to fix this). 
Otherwise users cannot change their passwords and even root cannot set 
his password.
