Created attachment 774935 [details] anaconda users.py patch Description of problem: anaconda uses libuser, which always set the "date of last password change" /etc/shadow field, even when password aging is not enabled (which it is not by default on Fedora, and it cannot be enabled at install time AFAIK). This leads to a slightly inconsistent /etc/shadow, which by itself is not a big problem, where it not for bug 985569, which forces users to have to change their password immediately on first login, despite the user having been created seconds ago by initial-setup. Attached is a patch for anacond which makes anaconda tell libuser to not set the "date of last password change" /etc/shadow field, thus leading to /etc/shadow entries which are consistent with what other tools create, and working around the libuser bug.
This issue is also forcing password changes on the F20 Alpha TC2 for ARM, has this patch been considered further?
