So, Jeremy patenly helped me to get this new devel-shadow branch of our 
grimoire up.
In this branch, there are the fixes for bug 13505 and the create_group in 
FINAL instead of INSTALL.
Ladislav, would you check this out and test shadow from there?
Btw, I now found out the simple cause for groupadd getting PAM auth failure 
outside of cast in this chroot of mine: /etc/shadow was not existing yet!
When PAM cannot read that file, it gives an auth error, apparently - even if 
you are already root and don't need to check for a password in /etc/shadow.

Would anyone who is interested please have a look at these shadow changes?
I'd like to have them eventually in stable grimoire...
With castfs and groupadd failing in there while succeeding in FINAL (as I 
hope), it would really be nice to have an strace of that particular groupadd 
run.
An existing /etc/shadow should be accessible in the castfs stage, right?


Thomas.
