Package: passwd Version: 1:4.4-4.1 Severity: normal Dear maintainers,
On Debian Jessie useradd -D -s /bin/bash has no effect. In Debian Sid with passwd 1:4.5-1 this works again, so this is likely an upstream issue. I have: % useradd -D GROUP=100 HOME=/home INACTIVE=-1 EXPIRE= SHELL=/bin/sh SKEL=/etc/skel CREATE_MAIL_SPOOL=no I do: % useradd -D -s /bin/bash (no output) I still have: % useradd -D GROUP=100 HOME=/home INACTIVE=-1 EXPIRE= SHELL=/bin/sh SKEL=/etc/skel CREATE_MAIL_SPOOL=no % grep SHELL /etc/default/useradd # The SHELL variable specifies the default login shell on your SHELL=/bin/sh Workaround is to edit /etc/default/useradd: % grep SHELL /etc/default/useradd # The SHELL variable specifies the default login shell on your SHELL=/bin/bash % useradd -D GROUP=100 HOME=/home INACTIVE=-1 EXPIRE= SHELL=/bin/bash SKEL=/etc/skel CREATE_MAIL_SPOOL=no Thanks, Martin -- System Information: Debian Release: 9.3 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: amd64 Kernel: Linux 4.9.0-6-amd64 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages passwd depends on: ii libaudit1 1:2.6.7-2 ii libc6 2.24-11+deb9u1 ii libpam-modules 1.1.8-3.6 ii libpam0g 1.1.8-3.6 ii libselinux1 2.6-3+b3 ii libsemanage1 2.6-2 passwd recommends no packages. passwd suggests no packages. -- Configuration Files: /etc/default/useradd [Errno 13] Keine Berechtigung: '/etc/default/useradd' -- debconf information: passwd/password-empty: passwd/user-uid: passwd/user-fullname: passwd/md5: false passwd/username: passwd/username-bad: * passwd/make-user: false passwd/title: passwd/shadow: true passwd/password-mismatch:
