Description Miloslav Trmač 2007-02-19 20:50:25 UTC
"*" in pw_passwd prevents pam_unix from changing the password.  This is
currently not implemented for "*" in sp_pwdp when _unix_shadowed().

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
pam-0.99.7.1-2.fc7

Comment 1 Tomas Mraz 2007-03-23 14:04:08 UTC
It was decided by upstream that this shouldn't be implemented. Also the '"*" in
pw_passwd prevents pam_unix from changing the password' feature is now removed
from upstream sources.
