Description Ray Strode [halfline] 2018-02-07 16:11:13 UTC 
Right now we assume the user's shadow entry will always be available.
If it's not available, we return fields from it initialized to 0.

That leads to spurious password expired notifications in GNOME.

This commit throws a NOT_SUPPORTED error if the shadow file is off
limits.
