Bug Description
I think this is identical to bug 50587 but the latter is rather old, dating from 2006.
On the latest ubuntu 16.04 LTS the ownership of /etc/shadow is still not fixed.
To my understanding it should be
-r--r----- 1 root shadow to conform to legacy programs as well
and not
-rw------- 1 root root as it is on a new install.

On my 18.04 laptop it is group shadow and group readable.
If anyone can still reproduce this, please re-open this bug. It is likely an intaller bug.
