[Pkg-shadow-devel] Bug#791661: support for alternative passwd location (i.e. libnss-extrausers)

[Michael Vogt]

Package: shadow
Version: 1:4.1.5.1-1.1
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

in Ubuntu we applied a patch that adds a new --extrausers flag that
will use the libnss-extrauser passwd/group/shadow databasees instead
of the normal ones.

I'm happy to cleanup this patch and forward it to Debian if there is a
chance that it might get applied. Please let me know if thats
something you would consider.

Thanks,
 Michael
