That may be a mistake on my side, or whatever else. I sent the mail to
"adduser@packages.d.o". I indeed knew you are the maintainer but as,
IIRC, adduser is a team effort, I wanted to send the information to
the whole team.

This is not the first time that a mail to <package>@packages.d.o fails
to get an answer from the maintainer...strange.

Hmm, so what you're saying is that even if the report was about
adduser, the real bug is a useradd bug because adduser only calls
it. Am I right=A0? If so, then we will play BTS tennis and reassign the
bug to passwd, untag it, tag it upstream and handle this with shadow's
upstream.

Given tht I also don't have access to a NIS system, this may be tricky
to track down....the first check being whether the bug is still
here..:-)

/me very sick of the status of shadow bug log....:-(
