| Summary | 0000201: Try to update password fails due to missing file | ||||
| Description | I've tried to update a password on a newly created user. Doing this fails due to missing /usr/share/cracklib/pw_dict. There's a solution/workaround on redhat site, that didn't work for me. Finally figured out how to make it work. | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | Executed echo "XXXXX" | passwd --stdin usuario . Got this messages Changing password for user usuario. /usr/share/cracklib/pw_dict: error reading header passwd: all authentication tokens updated successfully | ||||
| Additional Information | A fix or workarround that works is reinstallng both crackib and libpwquality dnf reinstall libpwquality cracklib-dicts | ||||
| Tags | No tags attached. | ||||
|
We are unable to reproduce this issue on multiple systems. There isn't a /usr/share/cracklib/pw_dict file, but rather pw_dict.hwm/pwd/pwi. On a brand new system, password changes using echo "somepassword" | passwd --stdin operate as expected. As there is a valid work around and the issue is resolved, this will be closed. If this issue becomes reproducible in some form and can be repeated on multiple machines, please open a new bug with reproduction steps (including any dnf commands and installation information) |
