FYI: For a test, I added "foo" with useradd(8) and "bar" with adduser(8):
# grep -E "(foo|bar)" /etc/master.passwd
foo:*************:1002:1002::0:0::/home/foo:/bin/ksh
bar:*:1003:1003::0:0:bar:/home/bar:/bin/ksh
Looks like useradd does the right thing and adduser does not.
With the diff below I added baz:
foo:*************:1002:1002::0:0::/home/foo:/bin/ksh
bar:*:1003:1003::0:0:bar:/home/bar:/bin/ksh
baz:*************:1004:1004::0:0:baz:/home/baz:/bin/ksh
ok?
I'm not sure about this. The check in security is there for a reason. If
you want to bypass it, it might be better to have to do it manually.
The inconsistancy is annoying though, as is the "*************"-trick,
which I believe is merely a way to make it seem like a password while it
is not.
