Package: passwd
Version: 1:4.2-3
Hi, I observed a strange behaviour when pwconv should delete several
lines from /etc/shadow.
Here is how to reproduce it:
Starting from a standard installation, add some users, for example:
root@debian:~# for i in $(seq 10); do adduser --no-create-home
--disabled-password --gecos '' test$i; done
As expected, they appear in /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow.
Now delete them from /etc/passwd, e.g using vipw.
They are still in /etc/shadow, pwconv should be able to fix that.
However, every other entry will be kept:
root@debian:~# pwconv
root@debian:~# grep test /etc/shadow
test2:*:16724:0:99999:7:::
test4:*:16724:0:99999:7:::
test6:*:16724:0:99999:7:::
test8:*:16724:0:99999:7:::
test10:*:16724:0:99999:7:::
Even more strange, after a second pwconv only test8 remains.
The same thing happens with grpconv.
All the best,
Christian Sievers
