Public bug reported:
I can not change passwords in my system with passwd directly any more.
If I call "passwd" as a simple user I get:
$ passwd
passwd: Authentication information cannot be recovered
passwd: password unchanged
I can still log into the system and I can change the password by
changing a string in /etc/shadow.
