I now found, where the problem is, but I don't understand it.
I recently changed my /etc/pam.d/passwd from
password required pam_unix.so nullok obscure min=4 max=8 md5
to
password required pam_cracklib.so retry=3 minlen=6 difok=3
password required pam_unix.so use_authtok nullok md5
When changing back to the first I _can_ change my passwords.
Where is the problem? I _do_ have libpam-cracklib installed.
Did I forget to configure something?
Bye
Marco
