https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=227589 Bug ID: 227589 Summary: Large dates in account expiration corrupt passwd entry Product: Base System Version: 11.1-RELEASE Hardware: amd64 OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Some People Priority: --- Component: bin Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: preynold.freebsd@gmail.com Using chpass, add an account expiration of a large date. e.g. January 1, 2119 and save. Using chpass again, attempt to fix the date to something more reasonable. e.g. January 1, 2019. When editing a date other than the one originally entered is displayed. For the above example it shows November 24, 1982. Changing the date to January 1, 2019 and saving fails. Error messages displayed: chpass: entry inconsistent chpass: pw_copy: Invalid argument Workaround: zero out the expiration field for the given user using vipw. chpass now works again. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.help
