Public bug reported:
Using passwd to change a user's LDAP password does not work for our setup; the
error message is rather cryptical, saying
passwd: Module is unknown
passwd: password unchanged
The reason is that libpam-cracklib is not installed by default, but referenced
in /etc/pam.d/common-passwd as
password required pam_cracklib.so ...
Installing libpam-cracklib manually solved the issue.
Our installation is fully automated via preseeding, so I am not sure if
cracklib is installed per default in "usual" installations or if something
strange happened during our installation, removing cracklib.
Unless the problem should turn out to be my fault, once could either remove the
above mentioned line or, probably the better solution, install libpam-cracklib
by default.
