I've never modified pam.conf after I installed FreeBSD, but since I
cvsupped to 4.3-BETA two days ago, I now also have problems with sudo
and password-related tools. Passwords are refused to be accepted in a
seemingly random manner. Also, when using /usr/bin/passwd to try to
change passwords, I'll get:

Changing local password for dim.
Old password:
passwd: (null): Permission denied
passwd: /etc/master.passwd: unchanged

This (null) stuff is never OK, what could be wrong here?

Because I'm using RSA keys with ssh, I didn't notice anything there,
luckily.

I checked /var/log/*, but there aren't any PAM-related log messages.
Where would such errors be logged normally?

Btw, while mergemastering I noticed an addition to /etc/login.conf
for 4.3-BETA:

 default:\
+	:passwd_format=3Dmd5:\
 	:copyright=3D/etc/COPYRIGHT:\

which I'm suspecting of causing the problem, see
<http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/etc/login.conf.diff?r1=3D1.34
.2.2&r2=3D1.34.2.3>. Please correct me if I'm totally off-base here.

Cheers,
