There have been a few posts about this, but no answer...

Fedora Core 1 will send a bad password change to syslog, but not a
vanilla password change... Any suggestions on how I can log regular
password changes?

My first thought was to modify the source to passwd. So, I grabbed
the source, did a grep on the text that a bad password change makes,
but nothing pops up... So, then I looked at passwd.c, then I saw a
bunch of PAM references, but I don't know how to send a successful
password change to syslog...

Any suggestions?
