Hey all,
Noticed some pretty odd/scary behavior in the useradd command,
(Intel RH 5.0 x86), has anyone else seen this or know if useradd is now
'just broke, doesn't EVERYONE use control-panel?' :)
Example of problem:
useradd -d /export/home/test -ptest test
This will enter the UNENCRYPTED password into /etc/passwd OR /etc/shadow
depending on if you're using shadow passwords or not.
Running `passwd test` will correctly set the password. Sort of odd, pretty
scary if anyone uses useradd to add users on a LAN w/out shadow passwords if
the sysadmin uses only one or two passwords for all new accounts(yeah I
know, bad practice, but I know a few that do this routinely) and asks the
user to change it. Anyways, same behavior on 2 different RH 5.0 systems,
one w/ all errata patches, the other unpatched..
Ideas on this one?
