Comment (by pierre.labastie):
'''Some shadow programs incorrectly reference /bin/passwd after first
build'''
''login'', ''expiry'', and ''su'' hardcode /bin/passwd insted of
/usr/bin/passwd. This may lead to the impossibility of renewing a password
when it is expired.
'''Explanation'''
Shadow's ''configure'' tests whether /usr/bin/passwd exists, and if not,
hardcodes /bin/passwd. This is close to a bug: it should harcode
$prefix/bin/passwd. Anyway...
'''Solution'''
''touch /usr/bin/passwd'' before building shadow.
'''Possible side effect'''
None that I can think of: the empty file is almost immediately replaced
when installing shadow.
