Package: heimdal-clients
Version: 1.6~git20120403+dfsg1-4
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
when using kpasswd to change the password it gives no error message when
the two new passwords do not match:
user@sid-amd64:~$ kpasswd
user@REALM's Password: <current password>
New password: <something>
Verify password - New password: <somethingdifferent>
user@sid-amd64:~$ echo $?
1
user@sid-amd64:~$
The exit code ist '1' which is fine, but there is no error message.
The user gets the wrong impression that the password change succeeded.
