Package: passwd
Version: 1:4.1.4.2-1
Severity: normal
Tags: squeeze
This error occurs during the build of an iso for a live cd in
live-helper. I've added the file:
% cat 01-update_password.sh
#!/bin/sh
echo "I: update password"
echo "root:reallybigsecret" | chpasswd
echo "user:justasecret" | chpasswd
to config/chroot_local-hooks and the build produces the error:
I: update password
chpasswd: (user user) pam_chauthtok() failed, error:
Authentication token manipulation error
chpasswd: (line 1, user user) password not changed
E: config/chroot_local-hooks/01-update_password.sh failed (exit non-zero). You should check for errors.

This is not a bug in live-build; the unprivileed user is not created at
buildtime, but at runtime, see live-config.
there's no nice way to set a custom password yet, if you want to set a
custom password, have a look at 002-user-setup.
if you insist of having your own password and don't want it to be
created at runtime (which means that you don't need to modify
002-user-setup), add a hook in your config tree to create an
unprivileged user with your desired password, and boot the resulting
system with 'live-config.username=whatever'.
