[Pkg-shadow-devel] Bug#514437: chage -m / passwd -n (--mindays) have no effect (Lenny)

[Stefan Lienesch]

Package: passwd
Version: 1:4.1.1-6
Severity: normal


After typing e.g.

  chage -m 10000 <user> 

as root the user is still allowed to change his password.

The MINDAYS-Field in /etc/shadow shows the correct value after the command above 
but it has no effect.
