I discover this bug when I upgrade from edgy to gutsy.
I fixed with:
# chgrp shadow /etc/shadow
because I saw that /etc/shadow permissions were:
# ll /etc/shadow

I only noticed this after installing edgy. Dapper didn't have this

I just upgraded to Edgy, and this problem reared its ugly head again.
chmod fixed it, but it always worked for me in Dapper, and it shouldn't
regress like this.
