Topic: smeserver-password on sme8.0

[focfree]

hi all,
I have a clean sme8.0 install from cd. Installed smeserver-paswords according to wiki without problem.

Changing password strenght in the server-manager-passwords panel reports error:
"Operations Status Report - Error saving password properties"

/var/log/message shows:

but
[root@xyz ~]# config show passwordstrength
passwordstrength=configuration
   Admin=strong
   Ibays=strong
   Users=none
seems to show it actually changed. Anything to worry about? report the bug?

will do, but before I do, I also installed service control as per
http://wiki.contribs.org/Service_Control
and I notice pam_abl and pam_tally are both disabled on the panel. should they be enabled?
I have not change any service settings since installed.
