RBAC: change password queries

Hi,

I have created a role in Solaris 10 for userA to stop and start apache. Now userA can stop/start apache successfully after su to the <role> with password.

userA preferred to change the role password but after su to the role and issued "passwd <role>", the system gave the following after entering the existing password of the role:

Roles can only be assumed by authorized users

Any advise is appreciated.

Howdy, Stranger!
