Bug Description
I've set password of one user in my system to empty (removed all symbols in
/etc/shadow password field) and told him, that he must change password when he
will login first time. After few days this user told, that he can't change
password, because about-me control center applet freezes forever when I'm trying
to change password :(
This bug is 100% reproducible:
1. login with some user
2. removed all symbols in /etc/shadow password field for that user
3. Choose System-
4. Don't enter anything in "Old password" field (because password is empty - try
to login in console for testing) and enter new password twice.
Actual results:
About-me control center applet freezes forever when trying to change password
Expected tesults:
1. About-me control center applet's "Change Password" dialog should'nt ask for
old password if there are no password (password is empty) - "Change Password"
dialog shouldn't display field "Old password" or this field should be disabled
in this dialog if there are no password (password is empty). Command-line tool
for password changing - passwd command does exactly what user expect - it
doesn't ask for old password (current password), when password is empty.
2. About-me control center applet should'nt freeze forever when trying to change
password :)
