Description Rufus Petasus 2001-03-05 22:47:55 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.75 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.2.16-22 i686)


Passwd -S is supposed to print summary information for a login name;
instead,  it claims it sets the passwd,  but doesn't really.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Become root	
2. # passwd -S [some-account-name]
3. Observe that is sets the password instead of printing account info.
   except that it doesn't really set the password either;  it appears
   to do nothing.
	

Actual Results:  # passwd -S bbogus
Changing passwd for user bbogus
Password set.  MD5 encryption

Expected Results:  What the man page says:

    -S	This will output a short information about the sta-
	tus of the password for a given account. ...

passwd  -S acts the same  way with version  7.1
are there any actions being taken on resolving this.

Comment 2 Jindrich Novy 2004-09-16 10:53:06 UTC
This is fixed in recent releases. Closing this.

cheers,
Jindrich
