Thanks for the response. I fixed the problem locally a long time ago and mostly forgot about this bug. Looking at my bugs in bugzilla.gnome.org I don't think I ever filed it upstream either.
I installed a fresh VM of Natty and checked the behaviour. I use libpam-ldapd these days and when that is active the behaviour is correct. I also checked libpam-ldap and when that is active the bug is still present as reported. I am attaching the patch I have in production that fixes this problem. It's against gnome-control-center 2.30.1-0ubuntu1 from Lucid. Should I regenerate the patch against upstream's git master and send it to them? ** Patch added: "fix interaction with passwd when pam_ldap is active" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/607357/+attachment/2198110/+files/92_gnome-about-me_ldap_passwd.patch -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/607357 Title: gnome-about-me: cannot cope with incorrect current password under LDAP backend To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/607357/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
