Yes, it still exists in Dapper (tested today with Flight 5 + all current updates). Same symptoms as the original poster.

Last fall, I looked at the pam_unix code that was available upstream then, and it seemed that changing a NIS password through pam_unix could not work properly in any version released until then. Though every version seemed to be broken in a new and different way ;-) In the end I gave up and locally patched the version that comes with Breezy (0.76 iirc).

I haven't looked at the very newest versions available upstream, but I assume that such a big version jump isn't possible anyway? If help with a patch for the version included in Dapper is needed, I'd be willing to try to patch it (or test patches, if there's already something available). Is 0.79 likely to be the version that will ship with Dapper?
