When I try to change password to "asdf1asd" passwd ends with Segmentaion fault and there are more password combinations when passwd fails. Fortunately it is not completely broken, because when I try to change password to "nitram" everything works fine. # results if I type asdf1asd $ passwd martin New UNIX password: (index fread failed): Operation not permited Segmentation fault $ # results if I type nitram $ passwd martin New UNIX password: BAD PASSWORD: it is based on a dictionary word Retype new UNIX password: $ Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. passwd martin 2. enter asdf1asd as password 3.

Sorry to say, but this bug did not get that much attention. I'm also not able to reproduce the problem. Can it still be reproduced? Please reopen this bug if it can still be reproduced. In the mean time, I'm closing it as TEST-REQUEST.
I have same problem. If i change password like: # passwd New UNIX password: jedi44 (index fread failed): Success Segmentation fault I try "jedi(some 2 digits)" with the same result. When i swap "jedi" for somethings other, it work well. I try it on 2 other systems. 1 work good, 1 crash like this one. All 3 systems are gentoo compiled from stage-1, updated all software weekly.

Don't know if this is related but it also crashes for me. I found out that this has something to do with /etc/passwd parsing. If there are colons missing on an entry passwd segfaults on it. Minimal example: whisper ~ # grep test /etc/passwd ; passwd test test:x:2000:2000:: Segmentation fault whisper ~ # grep test /etc/passwd ; passwd test test:x:2000:2000: Segmentation fault whisper ~ # grep test /etc/passwd ; passwd test test:x:2000:2000::: passwd: Authentication token manipulation error
