Hi,

I am using krb5 authentication to authenticate users in my machine. I
am trying to change my password using `passwd` command but it failed.

    ~:$ passwd
    ~:$ Changing Password for bharathi
    ~:$ Kerberos 5 Password:
    ~:$ New Password:
    ~:$ Retype new password:
    ~:$ authentication error

Syslog Info

    pam_krb5  password changed failed for bharathi: Authentication
error : Authentication error
    pam_unix(chauthok): authentication failure: loginname=root
uid=3310 euid=0 tty=pts/36 ruser= rhost= user=bharathi
    pam_unix(chauthok): user password changed by another process

I cannot reset my password. Please help.

Regards,
Bharathikannan R
