Hello, I was just asked why the passwd(1) utility allows to set up a password containing spaces and tabs, and the adduser(8) script does not: the password is stripped of anything past a space or a tab. E.g., "my password" turns into "my". It turned out that it's pw(8) utility that does such stripping; the attached patch makes it behave consistently with passwd(1).
Regards, Alexey. P.S. Shouldn't passwd(1) be just a suid-wrapper for pw(8)? Are there any security implications for this? -- ,----------------------------------------, | A quoi ca sert d'etre sur la terre | Alexey V.
