Hello Petri,

Can you make a proposal on how to fix this (i.e. do you speak Finnish?)
I have no idea if just the URL should be removed, or the whole paragraph, or the whole manpage.

shadow uses a PO based translation. It could be used to help the translation of the Finnish manpages and ease its maintenance (i.e. help keeping the translation up to date)

The current manpages were not translated using this process, and are probably out of date currently.

Thanks in advance,

Actually I think whole translation is bad. For example finnish translation of passwd doesn't document switches available to passwd at all. Just discard this badly translated man page alltogether.

On 12.04 LTS this man page is shown only in English, no Finnish localization available. Since Jaunty isn't supported anymore, I'm setting this as WONTFIX.

Changed in shadow (Ubuntu):
