Description of problem:
This is a bad interaction between several components.  The "passwd" program
calls pam_chauthtok().  On PAM_PRELIM_CHECK, pam_cracklib's
pam_sm_chauthtok() does (essentially) nothing.  Then pam_ldap's
pam_sm_chauthtok() gets the old password and stores it in
PADL_LDAP_AUTHTOK_DATA with pam_set_data() (but not in PAM_OLDAUTHTOK with
pam_set_item()).  Now pam_cracklib gets control again for the update, but
it's looking for the old password in PAM_OLDAUTHTOK with pam_get_item() and
can't find it.  This disables certain checks such as simple().

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Define an LDAP account.
2. As the LDAP user, change its password.
3. Enter 'qwerty' at the 'New UNIX password:' prompt.
	

Actual Results:  Retype new UNIX password:

Expected Results:  BAD PASSWORD: is too simple

Additional info:

pam_ldap.h:#define PADL_LDAP_OLDAUTHTOK_DATA "PADL-LDAP-OLDAUTHTOK-DATA"
pam_modules.h:#define PAM_OLDAUTHTOK  7	/* The old authentication token */

This could be fixed by setting the PAM_OLDAUTHTOK item in pam_ldap or by
changing pam_cracklib to retrieve a current password and save it in
PAM_OLDAUTHTOK when not running as root.
