here it is, $ cat /etc/pam.d/common-password # # /etc/pam.d/common-password - password-related modules common to all services # # This file is included from other service-specific PAM config files, # and should contain a list of modules that define the services to be # used to change user passwords. The default is pam_unix.
# Explanation of pam_unix options: # # The "sha512" option enables salted SHA512 passwords. Without this option, # the default is Unix crypt. Prior releases used the option "md5". # # The "obscure" option replaces the old `OBSCURE_CHECKS_ENAB' option in # login.defs. # # See the pam_unix manpage for other options. # As of pam 1.0.1-5, this file is managed by pam-auth-update by default. # To take advantage of this, it is recommended that you configure any # local modules either before or after the default block, and use # pam-auth-update to manage selection of other modules. See # pam-auth-update(8) for details. # here are the per-package modules (the "Primary" block) password [success=2 default=ignore] pam_lwidentity.so password [success=1 default=ignore] pam_unix.so obscure use_authtok try_first_pass sha512 # here's the fallback if no module succeeds password requisite pam_deny.so # prime the stack with a positive return value if there isn't one already; # this avoids us returning an error just because nothing sets a success code # since the modules above will each just jump around password required pam_permit.so # and here are more per-package modules (the "Additional" block) # end of pam-auth-update config thanks, pescio -- 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.

It should only report "passwords do not match". It shouldn't say "password updated sucessfully". According to Synaptic the passwd package is at level "1:4.1.1-1ubuntu1". This is on 8.10 Alpha 6.
