I confirm this bug on kubuntu 8.10 and on current jaunty (as of today's date). I didnt realise it was due to likewise install.... 1) After editing the common-password file i was able to change passwords fine :) 2) I have also installed libpam-cracklib to make sure a new update doesn't recreate the problem
thanks for the pointers ;) -- likewise-open prevents local passwords from being changed https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/302026 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
