RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Paulo Andrade 2020-10-05 18:43:52 UTC
Recently reported some issues involving /etc/login.defs util-linux, pam
and shadow-utils. See bz#1884702 and bz#1884695

While doing an unrelated test on the test environment of the above issue,
I just noticed the @summary message when adding a test user with 'useradd',
and using LOGIN_PLAIN_PROMPT in /etc/login.defs.

Feel free to reassign to shadow-utils if that is the case.

Comment 2 Karel Zak 2020-10-08 10:41:15 UTC
This is necessary to fix in shadow-util. It seems RHEL-8 has already a patch for this issue.

Note that we're trying to fix it also in upstream level and there is a shadow-utils pull-request to add all missing options. 
For more details see: https://github.com/shadow-maint/shadow/issues/276

Comment 3 Iker Pedrosa 2020-10-08 11:26:41 UTC
Is this an actual error message or just a warning? I mean, where you able to add the user?

Comment 4 Paulo Andrade 2020-10-08 12:12:19 UTC
It is just a warning message. User can be added normally.

Comment 5 Iker Pedrosa 2020-10-15 10:32:36 UTC
Since this is a cosmetic issue for RHEL7 and it has already been fixed in RHEL8 I'm closing it as won't fix.
