Which specific testcases are you seeing problems with? (btw I think that passwd just execs gpasswd for some functionality - which is still a valid implementation, just applications won't call gpasswd directly) > Is it expected that "paaswd" be re-written to conform to the spec, or can > someone point me to source of a compliant version? The spec was written based on the shadow package source. I don't remember the exact site it came from, but could be one of the following: ftp://piast.t19.ds.pwr.wroc.pl/pub/linux/shadow/ ftp://ftp.ists.pwr.wroc.pl/pub/linux/shadow/ http://www.itnet.pl/amelektr/linux/shadow/ The spec actually requires a subset of the functionality listed in the man page (but providing more is ok as long as it doesn't contradict the spec).
