Package: libpam-unix2 Version: 2.5.0-2 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable
libpam-unix2 is broken when used with blowfish passwords. Neither users nor root can change passwords, and the module complains that it's been compiled without blowfish support: # passwd dhess New UNIX password: Retype new UNIX password: crypt_r: Don't know 0 Error: Password NOT changed. passwd: Authentication token manipulation error passwd: password unchanged Syslog output: Jun 22 07:26:49 [passwd] pam_unix2(passwd:chauthtok): Unknown option: `blowfish' - Last output repeated 5 times - Jun 22 07:27:37 [passwd] pam_unix2(passwd:chauthtok): No blowfish support compiled in Password auth (e.g., via sudo) works fine, strangely enough. blowfish passwords were working fine prior to the recent package update, and the PAM configuration on this machine hasn't changed. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.22-14-xen (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages libpam-unix2 depends on: ii libc6 2.7-12 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libpam0g 0.99.7.1-6 Pluggable Authentication Modules l ii libxcrypt1 2.4-2 Crypt library for DES, MD5, and bl libpam-unix2 recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
