Public bug reported: Binary package hint: kde-systemsettings
Go into the "About me" section of kde-systemsettings and press "Change password", give it your current password. If you are not a local but a NIS user, you will get an error message containing the following: >> Die Kommunikation mit "passwd" ist fehlgeschlagen. >> "passwd: User not known to the underlying authentication module passwd: >> password unchanged " It seems that the module in kde-systemsettings tries to use the "passwd" command instead of "yppasswd" not taking into account that the user whos password is to be changed could be a NIS user. lsb_release -rd: Description: Ubuntu 7.10 Release: 7.10 apt-cache policy kde-systemsettings: kde-systemsettings: Installiert:0.0svn20070312-0ubuntu4 Mögliche Pakete:0.0svn20070312-0ubuntu4 Versions-Tabelle: *** 0.0svn20070312-0ubuntu4 0 500 http://de.archive.ubuntu.com gutsy/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status ** Affects: kde-systemsettings (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- nis users can't change their password via kde-systemsettings https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/248922 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
