This is now fixed in CVS. It had been fixed on Debian for quite some time and I had not yet pushed the patches to CVS. Sorry.

Using tiger version obtained directly from CVS.

In scripts/check_known, the $TAIL +2 usage is:

tail: Warning: "+number" syntax is deprecated, please use "-n +number"

and is an issue during runtime on RHEL5 and Debian/Etch.

Likewise sort has deprecated usages for:

check_group: $SORT -t: +2 -3
check_passwd: $SORT -t: +2 -3
check_passwdformat: $AWK -F: '{ print $1 " " $3 }' $PW | $SORT -n +1
