That goes for evry other system account too but these are in shadow.

I think/hope so. Now passwd looks like so:
|
| 16 |
portage:x:250:250:portage:/var/tmp/portage:/bin/false
|
| 17 |
This looks like a shadow account. Because of the missing entry passwd
|
| 18 |
thinks this is a normal account:
|
| 19 |
# > passwd -S portage
|
| 20 |
portage P
|
| 21 |
as opposed to:
|
| 22 |
# > passwd -S daemon
|
| 23 |
daemon L 10/28/1996 0 -1 -1 -1
|
