Segfault when password file is empty and not writable a segmentation fault is generated when a new user tries to register:

root#  > passwd


root#  chown root.root passwd


root#  chmod 644 passwd


root#  grep -i usr elogd.cfg


root#


kernel: [515323.672377] elogd[31048]: segfault at 78 ip 00000000004ba780 sp 00007fff03cd2078 error 4 in elogd[400000+dc000]
 

I cannot reproduce this error when running within gdb.
