Seems to me that chfn should not be trying to reauthenticate the calling user. Authentication is handled by the login program, so it should not also be done by chfn.
A user that is unable to login for any reason ( could also just not be allowed on this tty or something ) should still be able to chfn. -- 'Account has expired' message when adding a new user https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/238755 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
