This error message was generated for me. It is the passwd command which gave me system error, while trying to change a users password. I had no OpenOffice or not even Firefox open.
The password management has been broken for at least 30 hours now. I am using Lucid with standard repos (not proposed) and updating daily. My current passwd is version 1:4.1.4.2-1ubuntu2 passwd -S user works Ok passwd user, passwd, sudo passwd, sudo passwd user gives outout Järjestelmävirhe (=system error in finnish) With GUI:s: As an administrator I can change users password, but it there is no actual change. As a normal user i can not change my password, because "Authentication failed". and the original password field is highlighted. All users (7) can login with their passwords but currently the passwords cannot be changed. Yours Jari J.
