So, I'm not there!  I understand that without a record in /etc/shadow my
record in /etc/passwd is essentially invalid.  Even a record with disabled
password would be better.

I'm not using kerberos.  My kerberos password was reset when fencepost was
compromized.  I have never used kerberos to access the repository (apart
from some tests maybe), but I was using the repository over ssh to commit
my patches to GNU Autoconf and GNU GRUB.

I have never entered any Savannah password (except the one on the
website), but it doen't mean that my name should be missing from
/etc/shadow IMHO.
