[Bug 329067] Re: Cannot change password on ldap client, need to have 'try_authtok' in the pam config or libpam-cracklib installed

It might be of value to note that the "try_authtok" option for the
pam_ldap.so library ist neither documented nor used, producing in the
/var/log/auth.log the following line : "illegal option try_authtok".
Since illegal options are ignored, it produces exactly the same
behaviour as simply removing use_authtok altogether.

Because of this i'd recommend changing the title of the bug to something
like : "cannot change user password on a LDAP client when the option
use_authtok is used with pam_ldap.so".
