Looking more closely at the bug, I fail to see how it can be an "important bug", it is only a feature request. Note that glibc has no notion about what is /etc/gshadow, this file seems to be known only by the passwd package. Anyway request forwarded to upstream. Please provide a patch if you want this feature faster. -- Aurelien Jarno GPG: 1024D/F1BCDB73 [email protected] http://www.aurel32.net -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
