Subject: [gentoo-user] Users in passwd/shadow
Date: Sun, 30 Sep 2007 04:30:11 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20070930023011.GA17059@bart.simpsons.bs.loc> (raw)
Hi,
I'm fetching the users from the files '/etc/passwd' and
'/etc/shadow'. (I use a simple Ruby script.)
def users fn ; File.open fn do |f| f.map { |l| l[ /^[^:]*/] } end ; end
pw = users "/etc/passwd"
sh = users "/etc/shadow"
Now I detect there are users in passwd that don't have a
shadow entry and even shadowed users that don't appear in
passwd:
> pw - sh
=> ["man", "smmsp", "portage", "cvs"]
> sh - pw
=> ["games", "guest", "cvsd"]
Does this have any meaning or is it a bug?
Bertram
