I don't really care who sees them, there's nothing personal on here. This is
basically my linux experiment computer. So here are the contents of the
files you requested (I don't know what you mean by store or BTS, but I hope
this method works):

If you ask me, I see several differences between the files, but I think
they're supposed to be like that. And by the way, pwck doesn't say anything
at all now when I run it, however, shadowconfig only says "please correct
the errors and run shadowconfig on again" without telling me what errors to
correct. I know that isn't pwck's problem, but if you could help me none the
less, that would be great.
