Hi there! I can confirm this problem, too. Apparently this is caused by problems in parsing the /etc/gshadow information. It is fixed in Debian, see their bug report: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=569899 (Jerzy: this is why a password in /etc/group -- bad idea :-) -- works).
Please fix and keep the good work up! Thank you!
