Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-control-center
When changing a UNIX password, if you enter an incorrect current
password passwd will print an error and exit. However when using LDAP,
unless the password has length 0 passwd offers another chance.
Enter login(LDAP) password:
LDAP Password incorrect: try again
Enter login(LDAP) password:
gnome-about-me mistakes the second prompt for the prompt to enter a new
password and assumes the initial password was correct. Proceeding
through the dialog eventually results in gnome-about-me hanging since
passwd exits either at an unexpected time or not at all.
The interaction completes as expected when the correct initial password
is given.
