Package: passwd Version: 1:4.1.5.1-1 Severity: normal Between 4.14.2 and 4.1.5.1, usermod changed so that you need to provide the uid of a non-unique user when changing the password. Previously, you could do:
usermod -p '$hash' -o root and it would work, now you need to do -o root -u 0, which seems redundant. Could this be fixed, please? -- System Information: Debian Release: 7.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (50, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=nb_NO.utf8, LC_CTYPE=nb_NO.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages passwd depends on: ii debianutils 4.3.2 ii libc6 2.17-0experimental0 ii libpam-modules 1.1.3-7.1 ii libpam0g 1.1.3-7.1 ii libselinux1 2.1.9-5 ii libsemanage1 2.1.6-6 passwd recommends no packages. passwd suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- Tollef Fog Heen UNIX is user friendly, it's just picky about who its friends are -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
