    Hi, freebsd-security.

    I have FreeBSD 5.3-STABLE.
    When I try to change user's password (via passwd) I recieve the
    following:

    passwd: entry inconsistent
    passwd: pam_chauthtok(): error in service module
    passwd: in pam_sm_chauthtok(): pw_copy() failed

    and password stays unchanged.
    There are no other errors in the authorization system at all.
    Contents of /etc/pam.d stayed unchanged (compared to /usr/src/pam.d)
    Permissions:
    /etc/group 644 root:wheel
    /etc/passwd 644 root:wheel
    /etc/master.passwd 600 root:wheel

    I have /usr/ports/security/pam_mysql installed, but this problem (as I
    remember) was here from the beginning, long before I installed
    pam_mysql.
    Because of need I created pam.conf with some opts. But if I remove it
    and reboot the problem persists.

    What could go wrong?
