Hi Steve,

thanks for answering the report. I did install pam_ldap and, to adapt
the /etc/pam.d files, run
auth-client-config -p ldap_example -a
Seems like this removes the "#" from the cracklib reference, thanks for
pointing it out. If this is a bug at all, it is none in pam (besides the
useless error message). I think however the ldap_example profile should
be changed.
Sorry for the inconvenience and thanks for your answer and closing the
report.

regards,
    Hubert
