Same here in Ubuntu Karmic 9.10 32 bit. If I change a user passwor with passw there are 2 cases: 1) completely different password --> no problem, password is updated correctly 2) long password and new password is equal to old password except for 1 or 2 last characters --> password isn't updated --> passwd report: Bad: new password must be different than the old one
Maybe the password wasn't updated correctly when old password was long more than 8 characters and different characters respect to new password are in positions major of 8. -- Changing long passwords causes spurious error https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/356766 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
