Permissions

open(pathname = "/etc/passwd", flags = O_WRONLY) failed, Permission denied (13, EACCES) because the process does not have write permission to the "passwd" regular file in the pathname "/etc" directory, the process effective GID 1000 "pmiller" does not match the regular file owner 0 "root" so the owner permission mode "rw-" is ignored, the others permission mode is "r--", and the process is not privileged (does not have the DAC_OVERRIDE capability)
