[arch-general] groupmod / pam bug - Arch hit by http://bugs.gentoo.org/300790

[David C. Rankin]

Guys,

Two things "Wohoo, I'm free! - last home server moved to Arch!" and second, Arch
has the same bug in the source of shadow src/groupmod.c that renders groupmod
unusable with pam enabled:

[15:23 nirvana:/home/david] # groupmod -g1060 david
groupmod: Cannot determine your user name.

[15:25 nirvana:/home/david] # groupmod -nskyline david
groupmod: Cannot determine your user name.

The gentoo guys have a patch to fix it:

I apologize if this has already been brought to your attention. Let me know if
you want me to open a ticket.
