Hi, So when I use deluser I don't have this problem. When I use vipw, i get a warning:
You have modified /etc/passwd. You may need to modify /etc/shadow for consistency. and actually none of the test users are deleted for me. No comments around the code spitting out that comment, so I have to assume it's somewhat intentional. So this certainly doesn't seem like a bug in the package to me. However a feature request against github.com/shadow-maint/shadow would be appropriate. -serge
