Hi, this package sets a "last password change" date for the system users like "nobody" which were defined in our default /etc/shadow. It was set to 0 previously which has the special meaning of enforcing a password change on users login. As a result su $user didn't work for such users. (see pkgstats thread) To test this change check the output of "chage -l nobody" and "su -s /bin/sh -c whoami nobody" before and after installing this package. Please sign off, Pierre PS: With this fixed we might also replace sudo usage in makechrootpkg by just su. -- Pierre Schmitz, https://users.archlinux.de/~pierre
