Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-control-center
Hello,
there is a bug in gnome-about-me panel ---> change password when you use
pam-cracklib and you try with a dictionary-based password. (or reverse
dictionary)
probably the applet can't recognize the error code and it can't
translate the code in language, it result stalled.
Sorry for my bad english...
If you want more details ask me.
Il you want replicate the bug you have to do this step:
#install the pam-cracklib library
sudo apt-get install libpam-cracklib
#edit the common-password configuration
sudo nano /etc/pam.d/common-password
#replace default config with those lines
password required pam_cracklib.so retry=3 minlen=8 dcredit=-1 ucredit=0 $
password sufficient pam_unix.so nullok use_authtok md5 shadow
open gnome-about-me and try to change user password with "password" or "lobasko"
you can see the aplication infinite wait. no errors displayed.
also if you open a terminal and execute "passwd" command with "password" you
get this error:
BAD PASSWORD: it is based on a dictionary word
if you try with "lobasko" you get this error
BAD PASSWORD: it is based on a (reversed) dictionary word
I'm Glad i could help
