Maybe it would be an idea to debug with the bug reporter of #328090 why his chage is returning 1 after saying "can't open shadow password file", which is a differently worded error message from the one you have cited. Maybe there is another code path in chage which still returns 1? Greetings Marc -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Marc Haber | "I don't trust Computers.
