Robert Storey, and lo! it spake thus:

[22:20:04] mortis:~
(ttyp1):{338}% ll -i `which chpass chsh`
23104 -r-sr-xr-x  6 root  wheel  17968 Jan 18 07:08 /usr/bin/chpass*
23104 -r-sr-xr-x  6 root  wheel  17968 Jan 18 07:08 /usr/bin/chsh*

Note the first column (inode number) is the same; there's the same
program, just under different names.

What error message did it give you?
