This bug is still seen with KDE 3.1.1 on Debian sid as well. A bug report with strace information is available here: http://bugs.debian.org/163499 I have not looked at the kdepasswd source but it appears it assumes any change of password will automatically be accepted, which is not the case when pam is used with password checking. It looks like passwd never exits in this case. What is the output of passwd when you change your password to qwert6 manually? Results of passwd from the command line (trying over and over): sidicas@Skuld:~$ passwd Changing password for sidicas (current) UNIX password: Enter new UNIX password: Retype new UNIX password: Bad: new password is too simple Enter new UNIX password: Retype new UNIX password: Bad: new password is too simple Enter new UNIX password: Retype new UNIX password: Bad: new password is too simple passwd: Authentication token manipulation error sidicas@Skuld:~$ Which makes you correct, passwd does not exit after the first attempt to change the password.
