Description of problem: Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: If I click from menu bar [System]->[Preferences]->[Personal]->[About Me] and then click "Change Password" I get an error that the password typed is incorrect, even before I type anything. This is the way it comes up. Then if I close the error pop-up and type in my password, nothing happens. Steps to Reproduce: 1. start gnome-about-me 2. click on "Change Password" 3. click "OK" to close error message Actual results: when "Change Password" is clicked error dialog comes up after error dialog is closed, nothing happens Expected results: expect to see form to change password Additional info: this was posted on fedoraforum. At least one other on i386 reported same problem
component is control-center-2.18.0-20.fc7
I'll just confirm that it happens on 32bit as well (so there's no distinction between 32/64bit). Using Gnome 2.18.3-1.fc7.
what happens if you run userpasswd?

userpasswd from a 'root' account with a strong password, everything works as expected.
Can you attach your /etc/pam.d/system-auth ? This is either a problem with userpasswd or pam. reassigning
