hi

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/shadow/+bug/238755



summary:

* cronjobs are broken for system that has a 'passwd -l root' with hardy
   http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.debian.user/330437

* the implematation of the patch that changed 'passwd -l' is broken:
   http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=492307

* + the confusion it causes at users-side due to unexpeted behaviour.

All of this is fixed in debian now. For hardy this all is imho a serve
regression.

Pls devs fix it.
