Yes, I'll have to fix that string, but that will be for Lucid+1.

We can't really remove these checks because when changing password for a user different than the current one, PAM doesn't check the password, which is set using 'chpasswd'. The current situation is pretty lame, but we'd have to parse PAM's config files in the backends and get the information from there... Using PAM in the backends would be better, but we don't support conversation in the protocol, and that would be very hard to implement without breaking all the other gnome-system-tools. Not likely to happen.
