Hi,
i just upgraded to potato from slink and i apparently forgot to do something
somewhere because now anything what has something to do with password checking
is sigfaulting, i would really appreciate if someone could help me to find
where did i screwed up, i'm really in a tight spot ;)
this is the file permissions on passwd and shadow files in /etc
-rw-r----- 1 root shadow 1300 Jun 16 10:23 shadow
-rw-r----- 1 root shadow 1327 Jun 16 10:23 shadow-
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2271 Jun 16 10:23 passwd
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2311 Jun 16 10:23 passwd-
this is what i got from passwd in gdb, there is no debug info but 'bt' may give
some idea ?
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

stuff what is affected is in.telnetd, su [if not root], getty/login and
probably others ..
all this makes me think that the format of /etc/passwd or /etc/shadow has
changed but the files wasn't converted ? if so, would you please tell me how to
convert/fix them ?
sorry for the long msg ;)
thanks in andvance,
Dingo.
