I've never modified pam.conf after I installed FreeBSD, but since I cvsupped to 4.3-BETA two days ago, I now also have problems with sudo and password-related tools. Passwords are refused to be accepted in a seemingly random manner. Also, when using /usr/bin/passwd to try to change passwords, I'll get: Changing local password for dim. Old password: passwd: (null): Permission denied passwd: /etc/master.passwd: unchanged This (null) stuff is never OK, what could be wrong here? Because I'm using RSA keys with ssh, I didn't notice anything there, luckily. >Check your log files, if you get a message about having problems >finding a module for it then that's probably it. I checked /var/log/*, but there aren't any PAM-related log messages. Where would such errors be logged normally? Btw, while mergemastering I noticed an addition to /etc/login.conf for 4.3-BETA: default:\ + :passwd_format=3Dmd5:\ :copyright=3D/etc/COPYRIGHT:\ which I'm suspecting of causing the problem, see . Please correct me if I'm totally off-base here.
