Ubuntu passwd: module is unknown

拿到一台ubuntu18.04，可以创建用户，但是不能更改密码

$ passwd
passwd: module is unknown
passwd: password unchanged
$ tail -n 4 /var/log/auth.log
Nov 20 04:01:57 ubuntu1804 passwd[32535]: PAM pam_parse: expecting return value; [...requisste]
Nov 20 04:01:57 ubuntu1804 passwd[32535]: PAM unable to dlopen(pam_cracklib.so): /lib/security/pam_cracklib.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Nov 20 04:01:57 ubuntu1804 passwd[32535]: PAM adding faulty module: pam_cracklib.so
Nov 20 04:01:57 ubuntu1804 passwd[32535]: PAM pam_parse: expecting return value; [...requisste]

参考passwd命令配置

cat /etc/pam.d/command-passwd

配置信息只有三行

password        [success=1 default=ignore]      pam_unix.so obscure use_authtok try_first_pass sha512
password        requisite                       pam_deny.so
password        required                        pam_permit.so

里面有一行
password [success=1 default=ignore] pam_unix.so obscure use_authtok try_first_pass sha512

 use_authtok
           When password changing enforce the module to set the new password to the one provided
           by a previously stacked password module (this is used in the example of the stacking
           of the pam_cracklib module documented below)

更改密码时，use_authtok强制模块将新密码与记录在模块 pam_cracklib中的密码做对比。因此需要安装pam_cracklib，之后再做进一步设置。因为并不需要重复密码限制，所以删除该选项。
