Description David Smith 2003-04-05 02:29:07 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.1)
Installed from:    Debian stable Packages

KDEpasswd crashes with the password "qwert6" or any other passwords that cause a "password too simple" from passwd.

Running Debian3.0r1 w/KDE 3.1
Comment 1 ccheney 2003-04-15 00:04:59 UTC 
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.
Comment 2 Waldo Bastian 2003-04-21 21:00:52 UTC 
It looks like passwd never exits in this case. What is the output of passwd when you 
change your password to qwert6 manually?
Comment 3 David Smith 2003-04-22 07:57:58 UTC 
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.
