Package: tiger
Version: 2.2.4-22
Severity: minor

Tiger does not distinguish "disabled-password" users from
"disabled-login" users.  This results in the misleading complaint that
such users have login disabled (which is incorrect) but still have a
valid shell (which is actually appropriate).

By disabled-password I mean that the user was created using adduser's
"--disable-password" option.  This turned out to be the safest thing to
do on a server that only allows remote access through ssh with public
key authentication.
