The auth process works correctly - ie users can log in fine and do whatever they need. when anyone tries to change their password they see this: user@host:~$ passwd Current Password: New Password: Reenter new Password: Password change failed. passwd: Authentication token manipulation error passwd: password unchanged The new password meets all of the AD requirements.

Local accounts are unaffected. authentication token haven't tried the console as this server is tucked away in a tiny room.This is really annoying because I don't want to run password expiry on that server and I'm sure that there's nothing in LDAP to indicate password expiry is on. My shadowmax is 9999 by default for every account..which is over 27 years I think. It's only started authentication token manipulation recently. I'd like to know how I can turn the expiry message off. I'd like to get rid of cracklib as well so any tips there would be helpful.my etc/pam.d/sshd isCode: Select all#%PAM-1.0
