Subject: Password change problem.

Hi
I have being testing a new cfengine implementation where I have used the
unit_root_passwd.cf as a template to change users passwords. The problem I
have is that when the password hash is replaced the remaining colons are also
stripped from the end of the line. This is causing problems with passwd &
pwconv, I think this is to do with the field_separator but I don't seem to be
able to resolve this issue. Has anyone else come across this problem.
Thanks
Dave
