[Pkg-shadow-devel] Bug#865762: useradd: empty shell by default ($SHELL in /etc/default/useradd not taken into account)

[Baptiste Jonglez]

Hi,

Is there any chance to get this bug fixed in stretch?

It's quite annoying when deploying Unix users with ansible, because the
ansible module relies on useradd.  As a result of this bug, new users have
no defined shell.

The upstream patch "Fix regression in useradd not loading defaults
properly" is available here:

Thanks,
Baptiste
