-shadow-4.1.4 -> shadow-4.1.4.1 UNRELEASED
+shadow-4.1.4.3 -> shadow-4.1.5 UNRELEASED
+
+*** security
+ * su -c could be abused by the executed command to invoke commands with
+ the caller privileges. See below.
+
+*** general
+ * report usage error to stderr, but report usage help to stdout (and return
+ zero) when explicitly requested (e.g. with --help).
+ * initial support for tcb (http://openwall.com/tcb/) for useradd,
+ userdel, usermod, chage, pwck, vipw.
+ * Added support for ACLs and Extended Attributes in useradd and usermod.
+ Support shall be enabled with the new --with-acl or --with-attr
+ configure options.
+
+-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
+ enabled versions)
+- faillog
+ * The -l, -m, -r, -t options only act on the existing users, unless -a is
+ specified.
+- groupmod
+ * Fixed groupmod when configured with --enable-account-tools-setuid.
+-login
+ * Fixed limits support (non PAM enabled versions only)
+ * Added support for infinite limits and group based limits (non PAM
+ enabled versions only)
+ * Fixed infinite loop when CONSOLE is configured with a colon-separated
+ list of TTYs.
+ * Fixed warning and support for CONSOLE_GROUPS for users member of more
+ than 16 groups.
+- su
+ * Document the su exit values.
+ * When su receives a signal, wait for the child to terminate (after
+ sending a SIGTERM), and kill it only if it did not terminate by itself.
+ No delay will be enforced if the child cooperates.
+ * Default ENV_SUPATH is /sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
+ * Fixed infinite loop when CONSOLE is configured with a colon-separated
+ list of TTYs.
+ * Fixed warning and support for CONSOLE_GROUPS for users member of more
+ than 16 groups.
+ * Do not forward the controlling terminal to commands executed with -c.
+ This prevents tty hijacking which could lead to execution with the
+ caller's privileges.
+ * Close PAM sessions as root. This will be more friendly to PAM modules
+ like pam_mount or pam_systemd.
+ * Added support for PAM modules which change PAM_USER.
+- newgrp, sg, groupmems
+ * Fix parsing of gshadow entries.
+- useradd
+ * If the skeleton directory contained hardlinked files, copies of the
+ hardlink were removed from the skeleton directory.
+- userdel
+ * Check the existence of the user's mail spool before trying to remove
+ it. If it does not exist, a warning is issued, but no failure.
+ * Do not remove a group with the same name as the user (usergroup) if
+ this group isn't the user's primary group.
+- usermod
+ * Accept options in any order (username not necessarily at the end)
+ * When the shadow file exists but there are no shadow entries, an entry
+ is created if the password is changed and passwd requires a
+ shadow entry, or if aging features are used (-e or -f).
+

+shadow-4.1.4.2 -> shadow-4.1.4.3 2011-02-15
+
+*** security
+- CVE-2011-0721: An insufficient input sanitation in chfn can be exploited
+ 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.
+ * 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.
