Update and passwd

[FilipeSantos]

Hello, i have applied 80 patchs and one of then changed the passwd file.
I need to know exactly what user/password this patch changed.

trousers was added in 8.2.1 as a dependency of gnutls which itself is a new dependency of the updated samba-client.

Hi, i have Zabbix monitoring passwd file and after applying patches i got a warn this file has been modified for all hypervisors hosts.

It's quite normal that any new package that adds a service user modifies passwd file or some patch could've added/modified such user. Check the passwd backup file located in /etc/passwd- if its modification time matches the time you ran updates. If yes, then you can just diff passwd and passwd- to see what was actually changed.
