[Pkg-shadow-devel] Bug#596070: group password is always invalid

[Mario Barchetti]

Package: passwd
Version: 1:4.1.4.2-1
Severity: normal


I've tried again with another group and the result is the same. From /var/log/auth.log:

...
Sep  8 20:40:05 laptop01-debian9000 groupadd[8330]: group added to /etc/group: name=boh, GID=1008
Sep  8 20:40:05 laptop01-debian9000 groupadd[8330]: group added to /etc/gshadow: name=boh
Sep  8 20:40:05 laptop01-debian9000 groupadd[8330]: new group: name=boh, GID=1008
Sep  8 20:40:15 laptop01-debian9000 gpasswd[8334]: password of group boh changed by root
Sep  8 20:41:23 laptop01-debian9000 newgrp[8420]: Invalid password for group 'boh' from 'hal'
Sep  8 20:41:48 laptop01-debian9000 newgrp[8449]: Invalid password for group 'boh' from 'hal'
Sep  8 20:41:51 laptop01-debian9000 newgrp[8450]: Invalid password for group 'boh' from 'hal'
Sep  8 20:41:54 laptop01-debian9000 newgrp[8451]: Invalid password for group 'boh' from 'hal'

Is there something that I can do in order to find where is the problem?
