possible issue with pam

I am wondering if anyone has experienced an issue similar to mine. When I attempt to use passwd to change my password, I get the following upon successfully re-typing the password: passwd: entry inconsistent passwd: pam_chauthtok(): error in service module If anyone has insight on this I would be grateful. A search of the list for pam_chauthtok only revealed one person asking a similar question related to yppasswd. Compare your /etc/pam.d configuration against the sources in /usr/src/etc/pam.d to make sure you have not damaged your pam configuration by mis-merging changes. Also make sure you have no /etc/pam.conf file, which was removed a long time ago. Kris Hi, I've had a similar issue with a FreeBSD 5.2.1-RELEASE box for an account belonging to the 'wheel' group. I last changed the password for this account successfully roughly two months ago and since then I haven't changed anything at all (AFAIK..!). Now when I try to change the password for this account using root, it prompts me with the below error message. root:/etc#passwd user_name Changing local password for user_name New Password: Retype New Password: passwd: entry inconsistent passwd: pam_chauthtok(): error in service module I get the same error message when trying to change the password after logging in using the same user account as well. I have carefully verified that I did indeed enter the same string for the password verification. I have also done the checks being recommended in the above mail. The only differences are the /etc/pam.d has an additional file 'ftp'. The /usr/src/etc/pam.d contain two additional files Makefile convert.pl. Appreciate any suggestions on what might be causing this behaviour and how I might be able to resolve the problem. Also, is this at all any sign of my system being compromised?
