Same problem here, still on Edgy (6.10)
I actually did have a /etc/shadow and obviously it was functional since
it its passwords were required/working all the time. However: running
sudo shadowconfig on
revealed several inconsistencies, including:
invalid password file entry (had a comment in the file)
'xyz' is a member of the 'lp' group in /etc/group but not in /etc/gshadow
add group 'abc' in /etc/gshadow ?no matching group file entry in
/etc/gshadow
'abc' is a member of the 'dspam' group in /etc/gshadow but not in
/etc/group
Fixing all these errors, made shadowconfig happy.
It is possible that shadowconfig simply fails when run in batch and so
shadow remains partially disabled even though it seems to work for most
tasks. The user management module failing to load in system-settings
seems to be the exception rather than the rule.
