command 'passwd' broken after PAM update

Post by ^rooker »

[PROBLEM]
After updating to PAM 0.77, the changing passwords by using 'passwd' didn't work anymore, because it complained about some kind of version
mismatch.

[SOLUTION]
In the file "/etc/pam.d/passwd", replace 'pam_pwcheck.so' with 'pam_unix.so'.
