Reproducer: $ useradd foo $ grep foo /etc/passwd /etc/shadow /etc/passwd:foo:x:1001:1001::/home/foo:/usr/bin/bash /etc/shadow:foo:!:20458:0:99999:7::: $ usermod -U testuser usermod: unlocking the user's password would result in a passwordless account. You should set a password with usermod -p to unlock this user's password. $ echo $? 0 $ grep foo /etc/passwd /etc/shadow /etc/passwd:foo:x:1001:1001::/home/foo:/usr/bin/bash /etc/shadow:foo:!:20458:0:99999:7::: The program failed (didn't change anything, and reported the problem to stderr) but reported success (0). After this patch, the error is reported as E_PASSWORDLESS (20).

shadow-utils
Introduction
The shadow-utils package includes the necessary programs for converting UNIX password files to the shadow password format, plus programs for managing user and group accounts. The pwconv command converts passwords to the shadow password format. The pwunconv command unconverts shadow passwords and generates a passwd file (a standard UNIX password file). The pwck command checks the integrity of password and shadow files. The lastlog command prints out the last login times for all users. The useradd, userdel, and usermod commands are used for managing user accounts. The groupadd, groupdel, and groupmod commands are used for managing group accounts.
