I can still confirm this bug in jaunty, but it is a little different... trying with non matching passwords now fails, but first entering a password that is to short, and then trying again with 2different passwords still has the wrong behaviour:
2different passwords: j...@neo:~$ passwd Changing password for jens. (current) UNIX password: Enter new UNIX password: Retype new UNIX password: Sorry, passwords do not match passwd: Authentication information cannot be recovered passwd: password unchanged first only 1char, 2nd attempt 2different passwords: j...@neo:~$ passwd Changing password for jens. (current) UNIX password: Enter new UNIX password: Retype new UNIX password: You must choose a longer password Enter new UNIX password: Retype new UNIX password: You must choose a longer password Enter new UNIX password: Retype new UNIX password: Sorry, passwords do not match passwd: password updated successfully -- passwd indicates password updated although it wasn't https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/303515 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
