The source RPMs?
The binary RPMs seemed to do it just fine, but I can't, for the life
of me, think of one reason why it would be a good idea for a source
RPM to add entries into your passwd and/or shadow files.
Take into further account, that not all systems are set up with
shadow installed, or with other options for authentication, and the
RPMs might be able to be set up to take such instances into account.
