You can see following text in this manual about file format: ===%<--- Each line in /etc/pw.conf is treated either a comment or as configuration data; blank lines and lines commencing with a `#' character are consid- ered comments, and any remaining lines are examined for a leading key- word, followed by corresponding data. --->%=== what means "leading key-word, followed by corresponding data"? for example how anybody can recognize it(common usages): 1) Keyword:Data 2) Keyword:"Data" 3) Keyword:'Data' 4) Keyword=Data 5) Keyword="Data" 6) Keyword='Data' 7) ... what is delimiter? should/must quotes surround data? which quotes should be used? and so on Also it is unclear with data for shells keyword: can this line contains any spaces between shell names? Fix: describe format more clearly. How-To-Repeat: see pw.conf(5) and try to create new pw.conf from scratch without using pw(8) useradd -D command
