Hi,

There seems to be a bug with adduser --disabled-password .
With empty password input i get:

  $ su test_user
  Password: 
  su: Authentication failure

Only this succeeds:

  $ su
  Password: 
  # su test_user
  $ whoami
  test_user

adduser gave the user this line in /etc/passwd:

  test_user:x:<number>:<number>:Test User,,,:/home/test_user:/bin/bash

and in /etc/shadow

  test_user:*:17066:0:99999:7:::


Above will not work with users who have /usr/sbin/nologin as shell

  "NOLOGIN(8)        System Management Commands           NOLOGIN(8)

   NAME
          nologin - politely refuse a login
  "

which is used to nail up the user's lines in /etc/passwd like:

  backup:x:34:34:backup:/var/backups:/usr/sbin/nologin

resulting in

  # su backup
  This account is currently not available.

One has to work around by explicitely giving the shell to use

  # su backup -s /bin/bash
  $ whoami
  backup

Does not work for me (at least not out of the box):

  $ sudo -u test_user bash
  [sudo] password for thomas: 
  Sorry, user thomas is not allowed to execute '/bin/bash' as test_user on [...]
  $


Have a nice day :)

Thomas
