Bug Description
Binary package hint: likewise-open
once you joines an AD domain, users can authenticate correctly but they can't change their password with the "passwd" command (neither the "kpass" command works). The system keeps saying: "password does not match the rules" but there are no rules.

This may not necessarily be a Ubuntu Bug.
AD administrators can set password rules, that need to be met for a password to be set correctly. I don't believe that these rules are easily available (other than through corporate documentation).
eg. The password must:
- not be a dictionary word.
- be longer than 8 characters.
- contain a combination of upper and lower case letters
- contain a number.
Please try changing the password that fits the above rules.
