I detected it because there is a warning message in case
there is _no_ shadow entry. Instantiating an _empty_ shadow
entry makes it disappear:
myhost ~ # su - man
su: Authentication service cannot retrieve authentication
info.
(Ignored)
myhost ~ # su - portage
su: Authentication service cannot retrieve authentication
info.
(Ignored)
myhost ~ # vi /etc/shadow
myhost ~ # grep portage /etc/shadow
portage:!:13784:0:99999:7:::
myhost ~ # su - portage
myhost ~ # echo $?
1
myhost ~ #
