Thanks for your report.  However, you have reached the coreutils mailing
list, which has nothing to do with your system password maintenance.
You will not find any good answers here.  Try your distro support
mechanisms, or the distributor of the software you are trying to
authenticate.  I'm closing this report as it is not a bug in coreutils.
