I am assuming this has to do with pam (what other module would passwd be talking about?), but pam seems to be configured properly as well. This is possible. How does your /etc/pam.d/passwd config file look like? This is mine, quite stripped down and not of a suse system:
auth required /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so shadow nullok account required /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so password required /lib/security/pam_cracklib.so retry=3 password required /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so use_authtok nullok md5 shadow Do you perhaps use something else, like LDAP to authenticate users? Did you change any PAM stuff recently?
