[Bug 556077] su from root fails for locked accounts

http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=556077 http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=556077#c4 --- Comment #4 from Georg Müller <georgmueller@gmx.net> 2009-11-24 09:37:54 UTC --- In some new initial installations >= 11.1 I have no "!" at all in my /etc/shadow (they all have a "*"). My initial installation is older (10.x), and I think this is related to this. So it seems there was a change in semantics. A locked user ("passwd -l", "!" in shadow) is something different than a user without password. The documentation in this area is not the best ;) -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
