[Pkg-shadow-devel] Bug#337952: pwck: Should not complain about nobody's /nonexistent homedir

Package: passwd
Version: 1:4.0.3-31sarge5
Severity: normal

# pwck
user nobody: directory /nonexistent does not exist
pwck: no changes

That user was created by Debian and thus can be supposed to be ok, I guess.
Complaining about this directory might not only give users a bad feeling but
also prevents from running pwck as cronjob without "grep -v" circumventings.

bye,
