Summary:                    unable to create new users of change passwords!
Description: 
Having installed a fresh system with 1.5.1 and having run a 'lunar update'
I'm no longer able to create new users nor change the passwords of
existing users!
<output>
OK, I'm about to make a new account. Here's what you entered so far:

New login name: branko
New UID: [Next available]
Initial group: branko
Additional groups: [none]
Home directory: /home/branko
Shell: /bin/bash
Expiry date: [no expiration]

This is it... if you want to bail out, hit Control-C.  Otherwise, press
ENTER to go ahead and make the account.

Shadow version is 4.0.7.
I've relinned it, but that did not help!

Fixed in moonbase - the locations of passwd, chfn etc all changed and this
needed to be corrected in the adduser/deluser scripts. Please update your
moonbase later today and re-lin shadow. Thanks for reporting this ;^)

It's not completely fixed! Users can be created now, but it's still not
possible to give the a password or change passwords:
<output>
Making new account...

De gebruikersinformatie van branko wordt veranderd

standaardwaarde

        Varia []:

passwd: Critical error - immediate abort

Done...
</output>

<output>
root at ws-suzanne ~ # passwd
passwd: Critical error - immediate abort
</output>

HELP!

I just commited my updated Linux-PAM module, that should solve the problem
for "passwd: Critical error - immediate abort" that happen due to the
moved pwdictionary. The sedit in the configure script didn't work as
intended in the old module.

pam_cracklib.so still used old path for pw_dict.pwd, fixed with Linux-PAM
0.80.
