[Bug 1595080] Re: /etc/shadow has wrong ownership

[Serge Hallyn]

On my 18.04 laptop it is group shadow and group readable.

If anyone can still reproduce this, please re-open this bug.  It is
likely an intaller bug.

Title:
  /etc/shadow has wrong ownership

Status in shadow package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  I think this is identical to bug 50587 but the latter is rather old, dating from 2006.
  On the latest ubuntu 16.04 LTS the ownership of /etc/shadow is still not fixed.
  To my understanding it should be 
  -r--r----- 1 root shadow  to conform to legacy programs as well
  and not
  -rw------- 1 root root   as it is on a new install.
