Tomas Mraz 2014-08-27 12:12:04 UTC Doc Text Cause:
The usermod code did not properly handle creation of new entry in /etc/shadow.
Consequence:
The usermod -p command failed to set the new password if the entry in /etc/shadow file was missing.

Fix:
The usermod code now properly creates new entry in /etc/shadow if it is missing.

Result:
The usermod -p command sets the new password correctly even if the user's entry in /etc/shadow is missing.
