Description Milan Bouchet-Valat 2010-05-22 10:15:01 UTC 
Yet another patch to avoid hanging when new password is too similar to the next one. I've applied this to users-admin, OK to commit here?

If new password is really close to the old one, 'passwd' says: "Bad: new password must be different than the old one". Handle this case too, instead of hanging.
