Is that to say that you need at least 1 password requisite? That instead of
commenting out the password requisite pam_cracklib.so, I should have replaced
it with something?
What did /var/log/secure have to say?
The message sounds to me like it's coming from the server..
Please look at the krb5kdc.log on the server.
This is the server side message.
Most likely it did not like the password because it did not meet the policy.
I wonder whether there is a bug in case password policy has 0 for the
required character classes.
Trying different passwords and changing the policy while watching the
log will give you more answers.
BTW if required character classes == 1 there is nothing to enforce, because
each (non-empty) password has at least one character class.
You can check if there is some difference between 0 and 1.
