Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: passwd
As root, if you attempt to change the password, and the passwords do not
match you get "passwords do not match" and "password updated
successfully". It should only report "passwords do not match". It
shouldn't say "password updated sucessfully". According to Synaptic the
passwd package is at level "1:4.1.1-1ubuntu1". This is on 8.10 Alpha 6.
Here's the output:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/# passwd
Enter new UNIX password:
Retype new UNIX password:
Sorry, passwords do not match
passwd: password updated successfully
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/# lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu intrepid (development branch)
Release: 8.10
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/#
This happens for normal users as well:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ passwd
Changing password for userX.
(current) UNIX password:
Enter new UNIX password:
Retype new UNIX password:
Sorry, passwords do not match
passwd: password updated successfully
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$
