ubuntu修改密码提示pam_chauthtok() failed

服务器操作系统：

ubuntu16.04

使用chpasswd修改密码时提示报错

echo  "root:xxxxx" |chpasswd 
################报错提示如下
chpasswd: (user admin) pam_chauthtok() failed, error
passwd: Module is unknown

原因分析

缺少pam的cracklib模块
pam_cracklib模块就是用来做密码复杂度检测的

解决方案：

安装cracklib

apt-cache search pam | grep crack
libpam-cracklib – PAM module to enable cracklib support
apt-get install libpam-cracklib

批量安装问题

单独在安装这个软件包时会弹出交互式界面，如果使用ansible shell模块批量安装时就会一直无显示等待情况

针对ansible批量安装libpam-cracklib软件包问题，推介解决方案

如果要用shell模块，可使用：

ansible -i tmphosts tmp -m "shell"  -a 'DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get install libpam-cracklib -y --allow-unauthenticated'
