Hello,

I'm pleased to announce the release of shadow 4.1.4.1.

Thanks to everyone who has contributed to this release.

You can find the 4.1.4.1 archive in:
ftp://pkg-shadow.alioth.debian.org/pub/pkg-shadow/shadow-4.1.4.1.tar.bz2
ftp://pkg-shadow.alioth.debian.org/pub/pkg-shadow/shadow-4.1.4.1.tar.bz2.sig

Here is the comprehensive changelog:
- 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.

It also contains some updates of the documentation.

Best Regards,
