Hi,
With shadow 4.4, when running:
-------------
useradd -m -c something somebody

The entry in /etc/passwd is:
-------------
somebody:x:1001:1001:something:/home/somebody:
-------------
Notice: the shell is not set, the entry should be:
-------------
somebody:x:1001:1001:something:/home/somebody:/bin/bash

at least if you have not modified /etc/default/useradd
This is a known bug, and has been fixed on master just a
few days after the release of 4.4 version [1].
Since the fix is to move a line, it is not easy to write
a sed command, and I'd suggest making a patch. That patch
could also include the security fix, whose sed
command is rather cryptic...

Not sure about the security fix. Can you point me to it?
But the fix above is:
sed -e '2029 a get_defaults ();' \
-e '2039 d' \
-i src/useradd.c
It can be all on one line. I think that is clear enough.
The fixes need ot go into both LFS and BLFS.
