When installing a fresh system, there is an entry for user guest in /etc/shadow, but it's not in /etc/passwd. This confuses some tools, like tcb_convert from sys-auth/tcb.

I see my bug got duped.

Would I be correct in assuming that this fix has not made it into a baselayout-2 release yet? I'm running 2.0.1-r1, and the shadow file still has the extra groups.
