[Bug 329067] Re: Cannot change password on ldap client unless libpam-cracklib also installed

[Jamin W. Collins]

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
