Package: adduser
Version: 3.59
Severity: wishlist
Adduser reads information from /etc/login.defs not only
/etc/adduser.conf. If this behaviour is a feature and not a bug, please
add this file to the manpage.
This is at least the case for the following settings in /etc/login.defs
PASS_MAX_DAYS 183
PASS_MIN_DAYS 0
PASS_WARN_AGE 183
I believe this is a new behaviour since my upgrade from woody to sarge.
If this is the case then please add this informantion to
/usr/share/doc/adduser/News.gz
