passwd not working properly after libpam-tacplus install

[johnderoc]

Not sure if this is a Debian issue or not, but the moment I run apt-get install libpam-tacplus, the passwd executable doesn't work properly. After installing tacplus, when I run passwd it outputs "passwd: password updated successfully" without prompting me for a new password. This happens on different versions of Debian I've tried, from 8.5 through Debian 10.

Did you ever find a solution to this? Seeing the same thing on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS

root@testhost:~/pam_tacplus# passwd test
passwd: password updated successfully

Update. Must be missing some settings to tell it to allow local user to manipulate the passwd. As a temp workaround you can:

sudo pam-auth-update

Deselect tacacs from the list, select OK, change password and re-enable.
