I have no idea if this is intentional, a discussion on upstream's bugzilla - <https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=125611> - advises against that. You should open a bug on bugzilla.redhat.com against either libuser (where lchsh comes from) or against shadow-utils to make the useradd file readable for others at least. It would be nice if you could tell us the bugzilla ID here, then. Cheers, Ralph
