Bug ID: 227589
Summary: Large dates in account expiration corrupt passwd entry
Product: Base System
Version: 11.1-RELEASE
Hardware: amd64
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Some People
Priority: ---
Component: bin
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Using chpass, add an account expiration of a large date. e.g. January 1, 2119
and save. Using chpass again, attempt to fix the date to something more
reasonable. e.g. January 1, 2019. When editing a date other than the one
originally entered is displayed. For the above example it shows November 24,
1982. Changing the date to January 1, 2019 and saving fails. Error messages
displayed:
chpass: entry inconsistent
chpass: pw_copy: Invalid argument
Workaround: zero out the expiration field for the given user using vipw. chpass
now works again.
