Steve- Actually, I'm not so sure about pointing the finger entirely at pam_ecryptfs.
I have an up-to-date Intrepid system here, without ecryptfs at all. I run passwd and give: current password: (correct password) new password 1: foo new password 2: bar And it prints: Sorry, passwords do not match passwd: password updated successfully And the exit code is 0. For posterity, I'll note that the password is not actually changed. It's still a matter of the message and error code. :-Dustin -- passwd - passwords do not match but updated successfully https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/272232 You received this bug notification because you are a member of eCryptfs, which is subscribed to ecryptfs-utils in ubuntu.
