Guys,

Two things "Wohoo, I'm free! - last home server moved to Arch!" and second, Arch
has the same bug in the source of shadow src/groupmod.c that renders groupmod
unusable with pam enabled:

[15:23 nirvana:/home/david] # groupmod -g1060 david
groupmod: Cannot determine your user name.

[15:25 nirvana:/home/david] # groupmod -nskyline david
groupmod: Cannot determine your user name.

The gentoo guys have a patch to fix it:

http://bugs.gentoo.org/300790

I apologize if this has already been brought to your attention. Let me know if
you want me to open a ticket.

Quick Question:

   How do we change group information while this bug is there? Do we disable pam
or do we just edit /etc/group in the interim?

Patch shadow your self w/ aforementioned gentoo patch. works fine after building w/ the patch.
