Description Bill Greene 2001-07-21 16:08:50 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows 95)

Description of problem:
I am trying to force users to change their passwords by setting the
password age, specifically:

	chage -d0 testuser

When I login as testuser, I am asked to change password.  If the
password is too short, has too many repeats, is too close to the
current password, or is a dictionary word, I get the appropriate
message.  So far, so good.

However, if I put in something that "should" work (e.g., "fred&ethel"
or "Mxy!PtZ%lK*"), I get a "too simple" error.  This *only* happens
with the forced password change on login -- if I am logged in as
testuser, I can change the password to either of those values with no
problem.

Also, this happens on RH 7.1, but not 7.0 or 6.2, both of which work
as I would expect.

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.force password change on login (chage -d0 testuser)
2.login and try to set password (e.g., Mxy!PtZ%lK*) 
3.
	

Actual Results:  Get "bad password - too simple"

Expected Results:  should have changed password

This should be fixed in pam-0.75-11 and later.  Please reopen this bug ID if you
find that this is not the case.  Thanks!
