This bug still exists in 13.04. After installing SSSD, I can no longer change the password for any user, including root. Uinstalling SSSD didn't fix the problem. How can I revert PAM to how it was before I installed SSSD?

I have sssd set up. Using pam-auth-update I enable both sssd and Unix style authentication. The sssd uses LDAP only for user account lookup. Users defined in sssd can change passwords OK, however, local user accounts cannot, e.g. when logged in as a local user (btmiller): btmiller@hostname:~$ passwd Current Password: New Password: Reenter new Password: passwd: Authentication token manipulation error passwd: password unchange The following appears in /var/log/auth.log: Mar 16 18:18:05 hostname passwd[20544]: pam_sss(passwd:chauthtok): Authentication failed for user btmiller: 10 (User not known to the underlying authentication module) Mar 16 18:18:10 hostname passwd[20544]: pam_sss(passwd:chauthtok): Password change failed for user btmiller: 10 (User not known to the underlying authentication module) It looks like PAM has been set up to call pam_sss for ALL password changes, regardless of whether the user is local or has been defined through sss.
