That may be a mistake on my side, or whatever else. I sent the mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]". I indeed knew you are the maintainer but as, IIRC, adduser is a team effort, I wanted to send the information to the whole team. This is not the first time that a mail to <package>@packages.d.o fails to get an answer from the maintainer...strange. > > > I reassign this bug to the package it > > seems to belong to.

Hmm, so what you're saying is that even if the report was about adduser, the real bug is a useradd bug because adduser only calls it. Am I right ? If so, then we will play BTS tennis and reassign the bug to passwd, untag it, tag it upstream and handle this with shadow's upstream. Given tht I also don't have access to a NIS system, this may be tricky to track down....the first check being whether the bug is still here..:-) /me very sick of the status of shadow bug log....:-(
