Problem with pam_chauthtok

[Rohit Raveendran <rohit.raveendran@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

    This is regarding an issue I am facing while using pam_chauthtok(). I am 
having the conf file as

#%PAM-1.0
auth            required        pam_unix.so
account         required        pam_unix.so use_first_pass
password        required        pam_pwdb.so
session         required        pam_pwdb.so

This works fine when pam_chauthtok is called.

When I modify the conf file as

#%PAM-1.0
auth            required        pam_unix.so
account         required        pam_unix.so use_first_pass
password        required        pam_unix.so use_first_pass
session         required        pam_unix.so use_first_pass

pam_chauthtok fails with an error "Authentication information cannot be 
recovered", the /var/log/messages gives a message
"tet_conf(pam_unix)[16306]: password - (old) token not obtained"

I tried it out on Redhat, kernel 2.4.2-2 and kernel 2.4.18-14.

Kindly let me know whether I am missing anything...


Regards
Rohit
