HI, and thanks for reading:

Debian Lenny + Courier-mta + Courier-IMAP + Sqwebmail

in the preferences page(sqwebmail) when a user tries to change his password get an error message listed above:

after a click on (change password) and a few (aprox 20) seconds later

ERROR: Unable to change password. Possible reasons why you cannot change the password are:

- You did not enter the old password correctly - You did not enter the new password twice correctly - Your new password is too short, or is based on a dictionary word, and short/dictionary-based passwords are not allowed - Your new password contains forbidden characters

what i have done:

1. check /etc/default/locale and find this LANG=en_US.UTF-8 2. expect is installed 3. Check the script /usr/lib/courier/courier-authlib/authsystem.passwd, permission and possible malconfigured line, but anything seems to be ok. 4. Googled, but just find ino about the "locale" value and about expect.

a few months ago i have a similar issue and changing the locale value helped me a lot, but not this time.

i will thanks any help.

This is unlikely, because the first thing expect does is

set env(LC_ALL) "en_US"

One frequent problem is if you have cracklib enabled in PAM, and the password gets rejected as too weak, but because the output from PAM is thrown away, all that happens is that the new password gets rejected.

Try this:

( echo "oldpassword"; echo "newpassword" ) | authsystem.passwd

and see what happens.
