Public bug reported:

The priority of the libpam-sss pam-auth-update config file needs to be
lower than for pam_unix, so that local users always work, despite the
state of the sssd daemon. This causes a problem with the password stack,
where pam_sss needs to be above pam_unix, so that if pam_cracklib is
installed password changes still work. Otherwise it would be broken in
one of the cases, depending on if use_authtok is set or not.

The fix for this is to split the password stack from pam_sss config
separate from the rest, and use a higher priority there.

This is fixed in raring, needs an SRU to precise and quantal.
