[Bug 334795] Re: cannot change password

[Daniel Richard G.]

Same problem here. My scenario is even simpler: Ubuntu Jaunty, libpam-
krb5, no LDAP. Kerberos and Unix authentication profiles activated via
pam-auth-update. As root:

# passwd
passwd: Permission denied
passwd: password unchanged

Lo and behold, the *root user* cannot change its own password. Russ, how
close are we to a fix on this?

A workaround is to change the Priority: field in /usr/share/pam-
configs/krb5 to 255, to switch the ordering to Unix auth first, Kerberos
auth second. Password-changing for root and other local users works fine
then.
