Bug#2795: passwd asks for old null password, prints printf pattern
Package: passwd
Version: 1.0-1
"passwd" asks for the old password even if there is none.
Given an incorrect user name, it prints the %s in a printf pattern.
Thanks
Bruce

Pixar Animation Studios: Reality is not our business.
Pixar's "Toy Story" $184,849,036 domestic, $117.5M overseas and counting.
That makes it number 21 in box office figures of all films ever released.
