Description srrijkers 2008-04-07 13:44:22 UTC

When I run passwd as a normal user I get the following error:

passwd[15714]: pam_unix(passwd:chauthtok): authentication failure; logname= uid=1000 euid=0 tty= ruser= rhost=  user=sebastian
passwd[15714]: pam_unix(passwd:chauthtok): user password changed by another process

Changing as root works fine.

This seems to happen irregardless of USE-flag settings or settings in /etc/pam.d.

I have tracked the error to upstream revision 1.325. The attached patch reverses that commit and makes passwd work again for normal users.

Perhaps this should be reported upstream?
