[Freeipa-users] Initial login on RHEL 6 fails

For a users very first, (as in never logged in before and will have to
set new password), login attempt via GDM, the password change will fail
and the user will be unable to log in.

Now if the user has already set a password the login works fine. I
haven't tested after the password expires but I suspect it will be the
same as above.

The salient errors (I believe) in the logs are the following:

Jan  9 18:33:34 host.name pam: gdm-password[5056]:

ntication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty=:0 ruser= rhost=

The KDC logs, don't shed a huge amount of light:

After doing some testing while writing this message it appears that
kpasswd and even the sshd login fail as well in the same way.

A copy of /etc/pam.d/system-auth for completeness:
#%PAM-1.0

Let me know any thoughts on the matter,
