Package: sysvinit-utils Version: 2.88dsf-58 Severity: normal I deployed a system accidentially without shadow passwords enabled (all user accounts had * in /etc/passwd), and sulogin failed with "sulogin: cannot open password database!"
It then segfaulted. Which is the bug. Interestingly, systemd continued with the boot and the system came up otherwise ok. Note that this is perhaps a more common configuration than might be expected. For example, when using systemd-nspawn on a debootstrapped chroot, the container that is booted up is in exactly this configuration. If for some reason the boot proceess of that container needs to call sulogin, it will presumably fail the same way. -- see shy jo
