@dalias @tknarr For two, this fallback code is a second codepath that will never be tested and will work completely differently from the first one. Thus, it will be broken and unmaintainable. I'm not signing myself up to deal with that, sorry. Really, userdb isn't that hard to implement. You just need to know the specifics of your distro (which may be using a weird non-shadow auth system, or a different C library, or a different init system, or all of the above) that GNOME can't know
