Subject: sysusers: validate shell credentials
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=05b49871a28cd86bef636d6189ec8befb400026d;p=thirdparty%2Fsystemd.git

sysusers: validate shell credentials

Validate passwd.shell.<user> credentials with the same login-shell
rules used for sysusers.d shell fields before writing passwd entries.

Reproducer: CREDENTIALS_DIRECTORY=... systemd-sysusers --root=...
with --inline 'u creduser 999 "Cred User" / -'

Before: relative-shell was written as the login shell and the command
exited successfully.

Follow-up: 99e9f896fb491d13c6d02f6f5bbfceabae833f05
