Hi Mike,

same for me (user "nobody" with no userPassword set). Since userPassword is
not a required attribute, I agree that this should be fixed in gosa. I patched
gosa for me anyway (to change the shadowMin/shadowMax handling), so I decided
to update this as well instead of adding some password to user "nobody".
The attached patch initializes $userPassword in two target function headers
with an empty array, thus removing the hard requirement for this parameter to
be given. Both functions are small and self contained, they even set a default
and check for a set array element (as you can see in the context lines within
the patch), so I don't see any problem with this.
User listing now works for me again, hiding the lock/unlock icon of user
"nobody" as expected.
