-shadow-4.1.0 -> shadow-4.1.1 UNRELEASED
+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.
+ * Add support for shells being a shell script without a shebang.
+
+*** translation
+ * The Finnish translation of passwd(1) was outdated and is no more
+ distributed.
+
+shadow-4.1.4 -> shadow-4.1.4.1 2009-05-22
+
+- 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
+ lead to DOS attacks.
+ * (PAM) Even if the user was already authenticated (-f flag), ask the
+ user to update his authentication token if needed.
+- lastlog
+ * Fix regression causing empty reports.
+- newusers
+ * Change the passwords using PAM. This permits to define the password
+ policy in a central place. The -c/--crypt-method and -s/--sha-rounds
+ options are no more supported on PAM enabled systems.
+- pwck
+ * Warn if an user has an entry in passwd and shadow, and the password
+ field in passwd is not 'x'.

+*** translation
+ - Updated Czech translation

+ - Updated Japanese translation
+ - Updated Korean translation
+ - Updated Portuguese translation
+ - Updated Russian translation
+
+shadow-4.1.3 -> shadow-4.1.3.1 2009-04-15
+
+*** 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
+ affected.
+
+*** general
+- login
+ * Fix regression when no user is specified on the command line.
+- userdel
+ * Fixed SE Linux support
+- vipw
+ * SE Linux: Set the default context to the context of the file being
+ edited. This ensures that the backup file inherit from the file's
+ context.
+
+*** translation
+ - Updated Norwegian Bokmål translation
+
+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
+ * Accept users specified as a numerical UID, or ranges of users (-user,
+ 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
+ --members (-M).
+ * Added support for usernames with arbitrary length.
+ * audit logging improvements.
+ * error handling improvement (see above).
+ * Log permission denied to syslog and audit.
+- groupadd
+ * audit logging improvements.
+ * error handling improvement (see above).
+ * Speedup (see "addition of users or groups" above).
+ * do not create groups with GID set to (gid_t)-1.
+ * Allocate system group GIDs in reverse order. This could be useful
+ 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.
+- useradd
+ * audit logging improvements.
+ * Speedup (see "addition of users or groups" above).
+ * See CREATE_HOME above.
+ * New -M/--no-create-home option to disable CREATE_HOME.
+ * do not create users with UID set to (gid_t)-1.
+ * Added -Z option to map SELinux user for user's login.
+ * Allocate system user UIDs in reverse order. This could be useful
+ later to increase the static IDs range.
+- userdel
+ * audit logging improvements.
+ * Do not fail if the removed user is not in the shadow database.
+ * When the user's group shall be removed, do not fail if this group is
+ not in the gshadow file.
+ * Delete the SELinux user mapping for user's login.
+- usermod
+ * Allow adding LDAP users (or any user not present in the local passwd
+ file) to local groups
+ * do not create users with UID set to (gid_t)-1.
+ * Added -Z option to map SELinux user for user's login.

+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
- groupdel

without a gshadow file.
* 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

without a shadow file.
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.
* Recommend editing the shadowed (resp. regular) file if the regular (resp.
shadowed) file was edited.
