After updating nss-softokn{,-freebl} to 3.12.4-17 I'm not able to login to my system any more. Reverting back to 3.12.4-15 fixes the problem. Right after upgrade if I try to login (the password is correct): % su felipec Password: su: incorrect password If I try to change my password: % passwd Changing password for user felipec. Changing password for felipec. (current) UNIX password: passwd: Authentication token manipulation error If I remove the password for my user in /etc/shadow: % passwd Changing password for user felipec. New password: Retype new password: zsh: segmentation fault passwd This is the backtrace: #0 strncmp (s1=0xb7616c29 "6$", s2=0x0, n=3) at strncmp.c:66 #1 0xb76137ed in create_password_hash (pamh=<value optimized out>, password=<value optimized out>, ctrl=<value optimized out>, rounds=<value optimized out>) at passverify.c:427 #2 0xb760fd1b in pam_sm_chauthtok (pamh=<value optimized out>, flags=<value optimized out>, argc=<value optimized out>, argv=<value optimized out>) at pam_unix_passwd.c:754 #3 0x4d6cc36f in _pam_dispatch_aux (pamh=<value optimized out>, flags=<value optimized out>, choice=<value optimized out>) at pam_dispatch.c:110 #4 _pam_dispatch (pamh=<value optimized out>, flags=<value optimized out>, choice=<value optimized out>) at pam_dispatch.c:407 #5 0x4d6d0523 in pam_chauthtok (pamh=<value optimized out>, flags=<value optimized out>) at pam_password.c:48 #6 0x0804a035 in ??
