Having looked at the code, I think the ecryptfs-utils case is an ecryptfs-utils bug and not a pam bug. The relevant code in pam_ecryptfs is:
if (!old_passphrase || !new_passphrase) { syslog(LOG_WARNING, "eCryptfs PAM passphrase change module " "retrieved at least one NULL passphrase; nothing to " "do\n"); goto out; } but this leaves rc as PAM_SUCCESS - since this module is designed to be an optional module, this really ought to return PAM_IGNORE instead for this case. ** Changed in: ecryptfs-utils (Ubuntu Intrepid) Importance: Undecided => Medium Status: New => Triaged -- 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 Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
