jumpstart and /etc/shadow

Hi all,

I now am able to completely jumpstart a machine (with webstart flash
archives) but is it normal that, when I specify root_password in the
sysidcfg file, that the /etc/shadow file gets completely overwritten and
only the root_pasword is filled in there?
I have normal users as well, and when *not* specifying root_password in
the sysidcfg file, the /etc/shadow file stays (except from the fact that
the machine asks me for a root password upon reboot, or I use the
set_root_pwd script) and all users still have their password. But now
the /etc/shadow file looks like this:

root:ENCRYPTED:6445::::::
daemon:NP:6445::::::
bin:NP:6445::::::
sys:NP:6445::::::
adm:NP:6445::::::
lp:NP:6445::::::
uucp:NP:6445::::::
nuucp:NP:6445::::::
listen:*LK*:::::::
nobody:NP:6445::::::
noaccess:NP:6445::::::
nobody4:NP:6445::::::

while the users are still defined in the /etc/passwd file. A small bug?
