Subject: Re: bin/7019: [security] pwd.db almost always contains /etc/shells
Sender: owner-freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.ORG
Precedence: bulk

Synopsis: [security] pwd.db almost always contains /etc/shells

State-Changed-From-To: suspended->closed
State-Changed-By: kris
State-Changed-When: Mon Sep 4 15:49:40 PDT 2000
State-Changed-Why: 
This is expected behaviour: pwd.db contains the fields in /etc/passwd
in database format, which includes the shell and home directory fields
If this bothers you, create a copy of /etc/passwd with all of the home
directories and shells reset to a dummy value, and use pwd_mkdb on that.
