As root it does an open("/etc/passwd", O_RDONLY) twice. Both times it
gets a file handle.
As user, same thing, but it also tries to open /etc/shadow RDONLY and,
of course, gets a "Permission denied".
There is also a
write(2, "chage: PAM authentication failed"..., 33chage: PAM
authentication failed) = 33
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
of /usr/lib/locale/ files but most of them are "No such file or
directory" I'm thinking this is normal though.
It also tries to connect to /var/run/nscd/socket but fails but as I do
not use nscd I assume that's normal as well.
