# This script attempts to fix the following issue:
# https://github.com/wayblueorg/wayblue/issues/89
# More specifically, it does the following:
# * Iterates /etc/shadow and /etc/gshadow; and
# * For every entry that cannot be getent'd, delete it
#
# This script should be invoked before systemd-sysusers on system boot
#
# The reason for this is as follows:
# At time of writing, using rpm-ostree to build OCI container images fails to
# update /usr/lib/passwd and /usr/lib/group, instead dropping items in
# /usr/lib/sysusers.d for systemd-sysusers to process at boot time. This would
# fine under normal circumstances.
#
# HOWEVER. If you are coming from a distro that had entries in those /usr/lib
# files for that users/group, you will have entries in /etc/{,g}shadow for said
# users/groups.
#
# If an entry is present in /etc/shadow or /etc/gshadow that matches an object
# that systemd-sysusers is trying to add, it will fail and then abort further
# object processing. Thus, we remove objects that cannot be looked up, assuming
# that the cause is this disparity and that it will be smoothed out when
# systemd-sysusers next runs

		# Now, we use getent to find a match for the shadow entry. It's at this point
		# that one might ask why we're doing this instead of using grpck or something
		# The answer is that those aren't nss-aware, whereas getent is. /etc/shadow
		# and /etc/gshadow can have entries for things like passwords and group
		# membership for groups that live in /usr/lib/passwd and /usr/lib/group,
		# but grpck isn't aware of those and will obliterate their data from the
		# shadow files if we're not careful.
