Package: shadow
Version: 1:4.4-4
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

I notice that we aren't currently running shadow's testsuite as
part of the package build. This seems a little risky given it's
such a security-sensitive (!) package.

I did notice the following warning in tests/README:

    This testsuite is NOT SECURE: it will temporarily change your
    passwords file with known passwords.

    You should run it on a chroot, or on a secured dedicated system.

... so it's fair enough that we are not running it as part of the
Debian package build. However, this seems like a perfect use-case
for ci.debian.net / autopkgtest.


Regards,

Now that I found this bug again, I have asked to enable the qemu
worker. Test passed for the package in experimental.
