I'm open to it if a few more people > think this is a better idea. The file is needed in order for the utilities that add, remove and modify users/groups to function properly. The full version from shadow utils is used so we are sure we can dead with both shadow-less and shadowed filesystem images. (It's also more full featured then busybox, yet busybox is still compatible with it.) As for the separate package, that should be fine.. but remember this is a very small file, so is it worth "another" package? (If so, then base-files likely should depend on it for build-time, but not run-time.) --Mark > Scott >
