Package: passwd
Version: 19990827
When modifying an existing user's password, the 'newusers' command fails
to update that user's expiry information if shadow passwords are turned
on.
Example command sent to newusers:
echo 'gbowland:sillypass:::::' | newpass
This problem emerges when using the 'poppassd' to update passwords, as
it calls the 'newusers' command in exactly this way.
A suggested patch:

Trying to reproduce this bug:
root@cc-mykerinos:~# grep tintin /etc/passwd
tintin:x:1000:100:5:5:/bin/bash
root@cc-mykerinos:~# echo tintin:toto::::7: | newusers
root@cc-mykerinos:~# grep tintin /etc/passwd
tintin:x:1000:100:5:7:/bin/bash
So, this bug is obviously not here, if it has ever been here. This
should have been investigated a long time ago....:-(
