[Bug 546874] Re: passwd - can't login, change password (pam_winbind pam-auth-update profile)

[Mistofelees]

Got the same problem:
- can not log in
- can not change passwork
- can not create new user

1. case: native 9.10 srv to 10.04 srv with apt-get upgrade. There was no Samba but Likewise 5.4.0.7985. Testbed Intel Celeron 667MHz
2. case production file and www server 9.10 srv. Samba. No Likewise. 'apt-get purge samba' started upgrade all by itself. Intel P4. Uptime about 180 days.
3. case native 10.04 srv rc1 to 10.04 srv with apt-get upgrade. No Samba, but Likewise 5.4.0.7985. Testbed Intel Atom 330

All the upgrades were made after the official release,
In all cases the servers were registered in a large AD and had users. 
There was normal user 'root', a local user with sudo rights and a domain user with sudo rights, one basic user with no special rights. None of us can log in.
All the configurations was made over SSH (Putty) as 'root'. I had at least two SSH connections open from either one or two workstations, so that I could test various tricks. 
Cases 1 and 3 didn't allow local login with keyboard. I didn't try connection over RS232 (port is open and tested before upgrade).
Now the connections are closed by automatic timeout.
None of the fixes in previous messages did help.

Not even root can log in. What to do with the 2.case ? There is customer
data in there and a lot of scripts. Most of the data and scripts have
been automatically copied to a backup. Still there is a lot of work to
make it functional again, if I got to start with CD-installation.

I think I can replicate the sittuation, because I copied two of the root
manual logs to another server. One problem is that I'm extremely short
of time.
