AFAIK, in DPEC's latest release, this problem has not been fixed.

        DPEC has released a fix - here is the meat of it:


Preventing unauthorized password changes:

1) Use anonymous ftp to connect to teach.dpec.com.

2) Switch to the /pub directory.

3) Select the appropriate patch file for your OS from the following
list:

     aix_patch_990125.tar.gz
     bsdi_patch_990125.tar.gz
     digital_patch_990125.tar.gz
     hp-ux_patch_990125.tar.gz
     linux_patch_990125.tar.gz
     nt_patch_990125.zip
     solaris_patch_990125.tar.gz

4) Fetch the appropriate patch file using binary ftp.

5) Decompress and unpack the patch file.

6) Consult the readme.txt file for installation instructions.

This fix will be incorporated into future versions of the courseware.
