Package: passwd Version: 1:4.0.15-10 Severity: normal hello,
unfortunately, the new chgpasswd tool does not work as expected. according to docs and it's model 'chpasswd' it reads a string with the format "group_name:password" from standard input. obviously, this does not work. if i execute 'echo "jonas:password" | chgpasswd', i get a prompt: Password: and after two seconds it terminates with the following error message: chgpasswd: PAM authentication failed chgpasswd should not ask anything, as it's intended to be used in scripts, and gets all information via stdin. i am the one who initially submitted chgpasswd to you, and as far as i remember, you forwarded it to upstream who added it to the shadow/passwd package. i'm pretty sure that the original version (which was written by wesley terpstra) worked. wesley, do you have a copy of the chgpasswd.c that you submitted to me? ... jonas -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.17-rc3-1-amd64-resivo Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages passwd depends on: ii debianutils 2.16.1 Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii libc6 2.3.6-10 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libpam-modules 0.79-3.1 Pluggable Authentication Modules f ii libpam0g 0.79-3.1 Pluggable Authentication Modules l ii libselinux1 1.30-1 SELinux shared libraries ii login 1:4.0.15-10 system login tools passwd recommends no packages. -- debconf information: passwd/password-mismatch: * passwd/username: jonas passwd/password-empty: passwd/md5: false passwd/user-uid: passwd/shadow: true passwd/username-bad: * passwd/user-fullname: jonas passwd/make-user: true passwd/title: -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
