+ * Add --root option.
+- chpasswd
+ * PAM enabled versions: restore the -e option to allow restoring
+ passwords without knowing those passwords. Restore together the -m
+ and -c options. (These options were removed in shadow-4.1.4 on PAM

+ to create users or groups in a NIS environment.
+
+shadow-4.1.4.1 -> shadow-4.1.4.2 2009-07-24
+
+- general
+ * Improved support for large groups (impacts most user/group management
+ tools).
+
+- addition of system users or groups
+ * Speed improvement. This should be noticeable in case of LDAP configured
+ systems. This should impact useradd, groupadd, and newusers
+ * Since system accounts are allocated from SYS_?ID_MIN to SYS_?ID_MAX in
+ reverse order, accounts are packed close to SYS_?ID_MAX if SYS_?ID_MIN
+ is already used but there are still dome gaps.
+
+- login
+ * Add support for shells being a shell script without a shebang.
+- su
+ * Preserve the DISPLAY and XAUTHORITY environment variables. This was
+ only the case in the non PAM enabled versions.

+- login
+ * Fix failures with empty usernames on non PAM versions.
+ * Fix CONSOLE (securetty) support on non PAM versions.
+- newgrp
+ * Return the exit status of the child.
+- userdel
+ * On Linux, do not check if an user is logged in with utmp, but check if
+ the user is running some processes.
+ * If not on Linux, continue to search for an utmp record, but make sure
+ the process recorded in the utmp entry is still running.
+ * Report failures to remove the user's mailbox
+ * When USERGROUPS_ENAB is enabled, remove the user's group when the
+ user was the only member.
+ * Do not fail when -r is used and the home directory does not exist.
+- usermod
+ * Check if the user is busy when the user's UID, name or home directory
+ is changed.
+
+shadow-4.1.3.1 -> shadow-4.1.4 2009-05-10
+
+- packaging
+ * Enable --enable-account-tools-setuid by default for PAM builds.
+ * Add configure option --enable-utmpx, disabled by default to mimic
+ the previous behavior on Linux (where utmp and utmpx are identical).
+ * Fix build failure on non-PAM systems when --without-pam is not
+ specified.
+
+- chpasswd
+ * Change the passwords using PAM. This permits to define the password
+ policy in a central place. The -c/--crypt-method, -e/--encrypted,
+ -m/--md5 and -s/--sha-rounds options are no more supported on PAM
+ enabled systems.
+- grpck
+ * Warn if a group has an entry in group and gshadow, and the password
+ field in group is not 'x'.
+- login
+ * Do not trust the current utmp entry's ut_line to set PAM_TTY. This could

+*** security:
+- Due to bad parsing of octal permissions, the permissions on tty (login)
+ but also UMASK were set wrongly (and weirdly). Only shadow-4.1.3 was

+*** general
+- login
+ * Fix regression when no user is specified on the command line.

+shadow-4.1.2.2 -> shadow-4.1.3 2009-04-12
*** general:
+- packaging
+ * Fixed support for OpenPAM.
+ * Fixed support for uclibc.
+ * Added configure --enable-account-tools-setuid (default) /
+ --disable-account-tools-setuid options. This permits to disable the
+ PAM authentication of the caller for chage, chgpasswd, chpasswd,
+ groupadd, groupdel, groupmod, newusers, useradd, userdel, and usermod.
+ This authentication is not necessary when these tools are not
+ installed setuid root.
+ * Added configure --with-group-name-max-length (default) /
+ --without-group-name-max-length options. This permits to configure the maximum length allowed for group names:
+ <no option> -> default of 16 (like today)
+ --with-group-name-max-length -> default of 16
+ --without-group-name-max-length -> no max length
+ --with-group-name-max-length=n > max is set to n
+ No sanity checking is performed on n so people could do
+ something neat like --with-group-name-max-length=MAX_INT
+- addition of users or groups
+ * Speed improvement in case UID_MAX/SYS_UID_MAX/GID_MAX/SYS_GID_MAX is
+ used for an user/group. This should be noticeable in case of LDAP
+ configured systems. This should impact useradd, groupadd, and newusers
+- error handling improvement
+ * Make sure errors and incomplete changes are reported to syslog and
+ audit in case of unexpected failures.
+ * Report system inconsistencies to syslog and audit.
+ * Only report success to syslog and audit if the changes are really
+ performed in the system databases.
+ This is still not complete.
+- /etc/login.defs
+ * New CREATE_HOME variable to tell useradd to create a home directory by
+ default.
+- Translations
+ * New Kazakh translation.
+ * Spanish manpages are no more distributed. They are outdated. Please
+ contact pkg-shadow-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org if you wish to
+ provide updates.
+
+- faillog

+ user-, user1-user2).
+ * -l, -m, and -r now apply not only to existing users, but to all the
+ specified UIDs.
+ * Options can be specified in any order.
+- gpasswd
+ * Added support for long options --add (-a), --delete (-d),
+ --remove-password (-r), --restrict (-R), --administrators (-A), and

+ later to increase the static IDs range.
+- groupdel
+ * audit logging improvements.
+ * error handling improvement (see above).
+- groupmems
+ * Check if user exist before they are added to groups.
+ * Avoid segfault in case the specified group does not exist in /etc/group.
+ * Everybody is allowed to list the users of a group.
+ * /etc/group is open readonly when one just wants to list the users of a
+ group.
+ * Added syslog support.
+ * Use the groupmems PAM service name instead of groupmod.
+ * Fix segmentation faults when adding or removing users from a group.
+ * Added support for shadow groups.
+ * Added support long options --add (-a), --delete (-d), --purge (-p),
+ --list (-l), --group (-g).
+- groupmod
+ * audit logging improvements.
+ * error handling improvement (see above).
+ * do not create groups with GID set to (gid_t)-1.
+- grpck
+ * warn for groups with GID set to (gid_t)-1.
+- login
+ * Restore the echoctl, echoke, onclr flags to the terminal termio flags.
+ Reset echoprt, noflsh, tostop. This behavior seems to have change by
+ mistake in earlier releases (4.0.8, for no obvious reason).
+- newusers
+ * Implement the -r, --system option.
+ * Speedup (see "addition of users or groups" above).
+ * do not create users with UID set to (gid_t)-1.
+ * do not create groups with GID set to (gid_t)-1.
+ * Allocate system account UIDs/GIDs in reverse order. This could be useful
+ later to increase the static IDs range.
+- passwd
+ * For compatibility with other passwd version, the --lock an --unlock
+ options do not lock or unlock the user account anymore. They only
+ lock or unlock the user's password.
+- pwck
+ * warn for users with UID set to (uid_t)-1.
+- su
+ * Preserve COLORTERM in addition to TERM when su is called with the -l
+ option.

+shadow-4.1.2.1 -> shadow-4.1.2.2 23-11-2008
+
+*** security
+- Fix a race condition in login that could lead to gaining ownership or
+ changing mode of arbitrary files.
+- Fix a possible login DOS, which could be caused by injecting forged
+ entries in utmp.
+
+shadow-4.1.2 -> shadow-4.1.2.1 26-06-2008
+
+*** security
+- Fix an "audit log injection" vulnerability in login.
+ This vulnerability makes it easier for attackers to hide activities by
+ modifying portions of log events, e.g. by appending an addr= statement
+ to the login name.
+
+shadow-4.1.1 -> shadow-4.1.2 25-05-2008
+
+*** security:
+- generation of SHA encrypted passwords (chpasswd, gpasswd, newusers,
+ chgpasswd; and also passwd if configured without PAM support).
+ The number of rounds and number of salt bytes was fixed to their lower
+ allowed values (resp. configurable and 8), hence voiding some of the
+ advantages of this encryption method. Dictionary attacks with
+ precomputed tables were easier than expected, but still harder than with
+ the MD5 (or DES) methods.
+
+*** general:
+- packaging
+ * Distribute the chfn, chsh, and userdel PAM configuration file.
+ * Fix the detection of the audit, pam, and selinux library and header
+ file; and fail if the feature is requested but not present on the
+ system.
+ * Fix build failure when configured with audit support.
+- chfn
+ * Allow non-US-ASCII characters in the GECOS fields ("name", "room
+ number", and "other info" fields).
+- login
+ * Do not fail if a shell option, specified after --, has more than 2
+ letters.
+- su
+ * If the SULOG_FILE does not exist when an su session is logged, make
+ sure the file is created with group root, instead of using the group
+ of the caller.
+- vipw
+ * Resume properly after ^Z.
+
+*** documentation:
+- Document the -r, --system option in the useradd, groupadd, and newusers
+ manpages.
+- Document the -c, --crypt-method and -s, --sha-rounds options in the
+ newusers manpage.
+- Document the -k, --skel option in the useradd manpage.
+- Tag the section which require --enable-shadowgrp or --with-sha-crypt
+ accordingly.
+
+shadow-4.1.0 -> shadow-4.1.1 02-04-2008
+
+*** general:
+- security
+ * Do not seed the random number generator each time, and use the time in
+ microseconds to avoid having the same salt for different passwords
+ generated in the same second.
+- packaging
+ * Do not install the shadow library per default.
+- general
+ * Do not translate the messages sent to syslog. This avoids logging
+ PAM error messages in the users's locale.
+- etc/login.defs
+ * Set GID_MIN to the same value as UID_MIN by default (1000).
+ * Added variables SYS_UID_MIN (100), SYS_UID_MAX (999), SYS_GID_MIN (100),
+ SYS_GID_MAX (999) for system accounts.
+- etc/useradd
+ * /etc/default/useradd now defines HOME as /home to match FHS.
+- chage
+ * Fix bug which forbid to set the aging information of an account with a
+ passwd entry, but no shadow entry.
+- faillog
+ * faillog -r now only reset the entries of existing users. This makes
+ faillog faster.
+- gpasswd
+ * Fix failures when the gshadow file is not present.
+ * When a password is moved to the gshadow file, use "x" instead of "!"
+ to indicate that the password is shadowed (consistency with grpconv).
+ * Make sure the group and gshadow files are unlocked on exit.
+- groupadd
+ * New option -p/--password to specify an encrypted password.
+ * New option -r, --system for system accounts.
+- groupdel
+ * Do not fail if the group does not exist in the gshadow file.
+ * Do not rewrite the group or gshadow file in case of error.
+ * Make sure the group and gshadow files are unlocked on exit.
+ * Fail if the system is not configured to support split groups and
+ different group entries have the name of the group to be deleted.
+- groupmems
+ * Fix buffer overflow when adding an user to a group. Thanks to Peter Vrabec.
+- groupmod
+ * New option -p/--password to specify an encrypted password.
+ * Make sure the group and gshadow files are unlocked on exit.
+ * When the GID of a group is changed, update also the GID of the passwd
+ entries of the users whose primary group is the group being modified.
+- grpck
+ * Fix logging of changes to syslog when a group file is provided,
+ without a gshadow file.
+- lastlog
+ * Accept users specified as a numerical UID, or ranges of users (-user,
+ user-, user1-user2).
+- login
+ * Use PATH and SUPATH to set the PATH environment variable, even when
+ support for PAM is enabled.
+ * If started as init, start a new session.
+- newgrp
+ * Fix segfault when an user returns to an unknown GID (either the user
+ was deleted during the user's newgrp session or the user's passwd
+ entry referenced an invalid group). Add a syslog warning in that case.
+ * Use the correct AUDIT_CHGRP_ID event instead of AUDIT_USER_START, when
+ changing the user space group ID with newgrp or sg.
+- newusers
+ * The new users are no more added to the list of members of their groups
+ because the membership is already set by their primary group.
+ * Added support for gshadow.
+ * Avoid using the same salt for different passwords.
+ * Fix support for the NONE crypt method.
+ * newusers will behave more like useradd regarding the choice of UID or
+ GID or regarding the validity of user and group names.
+ * New option -r, --system for system accounts.
+ * Make sure the passwd, group, shadow, and gshadow files are unlocked on
+ exit.
+- passwd
+ * Make sure that no more than one username argument was provided.
+ * Make SE Linux tests more strict, when the real UID is 0 SE Linux
+ checks will be performed.
+- pwck
+ * Fix logging of changes to syslog when a passwd file is provided,
+ without a shadow file.
+- su
+ * su's arguments are now reordered. If needed, use -- to separate su's
+ options from the shell's options.
+- sulogin
+ * If started as init, start a new session.
+- useradd
+ * New option -l to avoid adding the user to the lastlog and faillog databases.
+ * Fix the handling of the --defaults option (it required an argument,
+ but should behave as -D)
+ * Document the --defaults option, which was already described in the
+ useradd's Usage information.
+ * New option -r, --system for system accounts.
+ * New options -U, --user-group and -N, --no-user-group. These options
+ should replace nflg from the previous versions. Please set any -n
+ option to deprecated because its meaning differs from one distribution
+ to the other.
+ * Make sure the passwd, group, shadow, and gshadow files are unlocked on
+ exit.
+- usermod
+ * Keep the access and modification time of files when moving an user's home
+ directory.
+ * Check that the new fields set with -u, -s, -l, -g, -f, -e, -d, and -c
+ differ from the old ones. If a requested new value is equal to the old
+ one, no changes will be performed for that field. If no fields are
+ changed, usermod will exist successfully with a warning. This avoids
+ logging changes to syslog when there are actually no changes.
+ * Fix the handling of -a when a user is being renamed (with -l)
+- vipw/vigr
+ * Recommend editing the shadowed (resp. regular) file if the regular (resp.
+ shadowed) file was edited.
+
+shadow-4.0.18.2 -> shadow-4.1.0 09-12-2007
+
+*** security:
+- chgpasswd
+ When compiled with PAM support, it used the chpasswd policy file instead
+ of the chgpasswd policy file. If an administrator added some restriction
+ to the chgpasswd policy file, they were not taken into account.
+
+*** general:
+- Add support for SHA256 and SHA512 encrypt methods (supported by new
+ libc).
- useradd: Allow non numerical group identifier to be specified with
- useradd's -g option. Applied Debian patch 397_non_numerical_identifier.
- Thanks also to Greg Schafer <gschafer@zip.com.au>.
-- chgpasswd, chpasswd: Fix chpasswd and chgpasswd stack overflow. Based on
- the Fedora's shadow-4.0.18.1-overflow.patch and Debian's
- 495_salt_stack_smash patches.
-- newgrp: Don't ask for a password if there are no group passwords. Just
- directly give up.
+ useradd's -g option.
+- chgpasswd, chpasswd: Fix chpasswd and chgpasswd stack overflow.
+- newgrp: Do not give an indication that the group has no password. Ask
+ for the password, as if there were a password.
- The permissions of the suid binaries is now configurable in
src/Makefile.am. Note that changing the permissions is not recommended.
- newgrp.c: Declare the child and pid variable at the beginning of a block.
- This fixes a compilation issue with gcc 2.95. The intent is the same as
- Gentoo's patch shadow-4.0.12-gcc2.patch.
+ This fixes a compilation issue with gcc 2.95.
- login_nopam: Add support for systems with no innetgr(). On those
systems, username with an @ will be treated like any other username
(i.e. lookup in the local database for an user with an @). Thanks to
Mike Frysinger for the patch.
- Add support for uClibc with no l64a().
-- userdel/usermod: Fix infinite loop caused by erroneous group file
+- userdel, usermod: Fix infinite loop caused by erroneous group file
containing two entries with the same name. (The fix strategy differs
from
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=240915)
- usermod: Make sure the group modifications will be allowed before
writing the passwd files.
- Flush the nscd tables using nscd -i instead of the private glibc socket.
- (RedHat patches shadow-4.0.16-nscd.c and shadow-4.0.17-notInheritFd.patch)
+- usermod: Make usermod options independent of the argument order.
+- newgrp: Do not request a password when a user uses newgrp to switch to
+ her primary group.
+- passwd: -l/-u options: edit the shadow account expiry field *in
+ addition* to editing the password field.
+- pwck: Remove the SHADOWPWD preprocessor check. Some check for /etc/shadow
+ were always missing.
+- su: Avoid terminating the PAM library in the forked child. This is done
+ later in the parent after closing the PAM session.
+- userdel: Fix the homedir prefix checking.
+- passwd, usermod: Refuse to unlock an account when it would result in a
+ passwordless account.
+- Full review of the usage of getpwnam(), getpwuid(), getgrnam(),
+ getgrgid(), and getspnam(). There should be no functional changes.
+- gpasswd: Only read information from the local file group database. It
+ writes the changes in /etc/group and/or /etc/gshadow, but used to read
+ information from getgrnam (hence possibly from another group database).
+- New login.defs variable: MAX_MEMBERS_PER_GROUP. It should provide a
+ better support for split groups. Be careful when using this variable:
+ not all tools support well split groups (in or out of the shadow
+ tool suite). It fixes gpasswd and chgpasswd when split groups are used.
+- Use MD5_CRYPT_ENAB, ENCRYPT_METHOD, SHA_CRYPT_MIN_ROUNDS, and
+ SHA_CRYPT_MAX_ROUNDS to define the default encryption algorithm for the
+ passwords.
+- chpaswd, chgpasswd, newusers: New options -c/--crypt-method and
+ -s/--sha-rounds to supersede the system default encryption algorithm.
+- chpaswd, chgpasswd, newusers: DES is no more the default algorithm. They
+ will respect the system default configured in /etc/login.defs
+
+*** documentation:
+- Generate the translated manpages from PO at build time.
+- The generated manpages will change depending on the configure options.
+ If you use different options than the one used for the distributed
+ archive, you should re-generate the manpages.
+- login.defs should now describe all the variables.
+- The tools' documentation details the login.defs variables they use.
