This bug is indeed still present in Lucid. With an account only present in LDAP and the default common-password configuration, I get the following when trying to change the password for the user stored in LDAP:
$ sudo passwd testing passwd: Authentication information cannot be recovered passwd: password unchanged Removing only the use_authtok parameter, I get the following: $ sudo passwd testing New password: Re-enter new password: LDAP password information changed for testing passwd: password updated successfully -- Cannot change password on ldap client unless libpam-cracklib also installed https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/329067 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to libpam-ldap in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
