Fedora 10 and passwd

[mansour77]

Hello all, I have upgraded from fedora 8, to fedora 9, then fedora 10. Things weren't fun. however, I am unable to smoothy change my password. I can do this form the root account, but I want the user to be able to change the password:

[mansour@neptune ~]$ passwd
Changing password for user mansour.
Changing password for mansour.
(current) UNIX password: 
New UNIX password: 
BAD PASSWORD: it is too short
New UNIX password: 
Retype new UNIX password: 
^C

The passwd utility hangs there and doesn't exit. I have to intrupt the process CTRL-C .

[root@neptune src]# rpm -qf `which passwd`
passwd-0.75-2.fc9.i386

So, I downloaded the src rpm "passwd-0.75-2.fc9.src.rpm", created a binary, then installed it. No progress. I added the debug option to cracklib to get log in rsyslog. So in my /etc/pam.d/system-auth

password    required      pam_cracklib.so try_first_pass retry=3 debug

There is no error showing in /var/log/secure :

Mar 19 16:52:33 neptune passwd: pam_unix(passwd:chauthtok): username [mansour] obtained
Mar 19 16:52:33 neptune passwd: pam_unix(passwd:chauthtok): password changed for mansour

My question is, where 's the problem ? Thank you for any suggestion.

Did the new passwd work? If not try to su then set the users passwd through root. Sometimes the terminal will hang and hitting enter enter will reset the prompt. Form root passwd mansour
Also I have never had luck with upgrades. Did you upgrade or a net install?
