And then on my KDE setup
de...@core7:~$ sudo adduser test
[sudo] password for devil:
Adding user `test' ...
Adding new group `test' (1001) ...
Adding new user `test' (1001) with group `test' ...
Creating home directory `/home/test' ...
Copying files from `/etc/skel' ...
Enter new UNIX password:
Retype new UNIX password:
passwd: password updated successfully
Changing the user information for test
Enter the new value, or press ENTER for the default
Full Name []: testing tester
Room Number []:
Work Phone []:
Home Phone []:
Other []:
Is the information correct? [Y/n] y
de...@core7:~$
So passwd is b0rked on fresh installation (tried reinstalling it)
But upgrade from Jaunty is working correctly.
