My program is nearly finished but i was wondering, if it's a big
security risk if the user isn't prompted for changing his user profile
in the /etc/passwd file.
Currently the standard ubuntu config /etc/login.defs is set up to ask a
password if chfn is called. Since my application uses this command to
change the user info it will not work if this is set.
A little bit off topic : python wich is shipped by ubuntu is missing
the spwd module to access the user password db. Maybe someone should
look in to this, as spwd is a standard module shipped with python. (
wrong build ?). I did a little research on this and there seems to be a
bug in the setup.py file for building the modules. ( wrong include file
)
