update-passwd - safely update /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow and /etc/group
SYNOPSIS
update-passwd [options]
DESCRIPTION
update-passwd handles updates of /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow and /etc/group on running Debian systems. It compares the current files to mas-
ter copies, distributed in the base-passwd package, and updates all entries in the global system range (that is, 0-99).
OPTIONS
update-passwd follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes ('-').
-p, --passwd-master=FILE
Use FILE as the master copy of the passwd database. The default value is /usr/share/base-passwd/passwd.master.
-g, --group-master=FILE
Use FILE as the master copy of the group database. The default value is /usr/share/base-passwd/group.master.
-P, --passwd=FILE
Use FILE as the system passwd database. The default value is /etc/passwd.
-S, --shadow=FILE
Use FILE as the system shadow database. The default value is /etc/shadow.
-G, --group=FILE
Use FILE as the system group database. The default value is /etc/group.
-s, --sanity-check
Only perform sanity-checks but don't do anything.
-v, --verbose
Give detailed information about what we are doing. A second -v gives additional detail.
-n, --dry-run
Don't do anything but only show what we would do.
-L, --no-locking
Don't attempt to lock the account database. This should only be used for debugging purposes. I repeat: do not do this unless you
are really sure you need this!
-h, --help
Show a summary of how to use update-passwd.
-V, --version
Show the version number
BUGS
At this moment update-passwd does not verify the shadow-file. It should check if the entries in the passwd are also in shadow and vice
versa, and that passwords are not present in both files.

Tails (LiveCD) is crap, and I'm being nice here. Bloated, contains HAMRADIO and PACKET RADIO modules which no one in their right mind would use on a distro aimed at Tor use, I don't even believe 1% of Linux users use them, yet they're generated right there in the directories. Google about ham radio... (0 Replies)
