[Pkg-shadow-devel] Bug#445484: passwd: groupadd/groupmod should support --password, like useradd/usermod

[alex bodnaru]

Package: passwd
Version: 1:4.0.18.1-11
Severity: normal

as i'm performing a few automated processing on the user and 
group datafiles, i'm lacking the options to batch group password 
setting.
