LIN8-12557 : libpam password change error log

Created: Jun 10, 2020    Updated: Aug 19, 2020
Resolved Date: Jun 23, 2020
Found In Version: unknown
Fix Version: 8.0.0.34
Severity: Standard
Applicable for: Wind River Linux 8
Component/s: Userspace

Description

By default this file /etc/pam.d/common-password has this conf for password change:

password [success=1 default=ignore] pam_unix.so *obscure* sha512

However the Journal shows that Obscure is not parsed as an argument. What Obscure does is to set some extra simple checks to the password.

The reason is the fetch libpam package is missing the patches to setup Obscure.

 

Steps to Reproduce

./wrlinux/configure --enable-board=qemuppc --enable-rootfs=glibc-small  --enable-reconfig

make

make start-target TOPTS="-in 45"

passwd
 journalctl -f
