[Pkg-shadow-devel] Bug#89523: Bug confirmed : NIS line changed by passwd

[Christian Perrier]

thanks

I confirm that using passwd to change root's password on a system
where the "+::::::" is the last line of /etc/passwd changes it to
+::0:0:::

As noted in the bug log, this seems harmless and is more an
aesthetical bug, if this is a bug and not a feature.

Tomasz, any input on this?
