Release shadow 4.0.16 is sheduled to comming monday 05-06-2006.
As usual last week before release is only for critical bugs and
update/new translations.
Current snapshot 4.0.16 tar balls are avalaible on:
ftp://ftp.pld.org.pl/software/shadow/snapshot/
Current list of changes:
*** general:
- userdel: better fix for old CERT VU#312962 (which was fixed in shadow
4.0.8): fixed forgoten checking of the return value from fchown()
before proceeding with the fchmod() (based on Owl patch prepared by
Rafal Wojtczuk <nergal at owl.openwall.com>),
- userdel: use login.defs::MAIL_DIR instead hardcoded /var/mail in
created mailbox path (based on OWL fixes submited
by Solar Designer <solar at openwall.com>),
- by default do not use libshadow_getpass() as getpass() replacemement.
Use libshadow_getpass() only when S/KEY support is enabled.
Current glibc getpass() handles correctly longer than 8 characters
passwords and libshadow_getpass() is used only because libc getpass()
do not handles password prompting with echo enabled,
- move login.defs::MD5_CRYPT_ENAB to non-PAM part,
- userdel: rewrited for use getopt_log(),
- install default/template configuration files:
-- if shadow is configured with use PAM install /etc/pam.d/* files,
-- if shadow do not uses PAM install /etc/{limits,login.acces} files,
-- install /etc/login.defs and /etc/default/useradd files,
- fixed handle relative symlinks too in lib/commonio.c
(merge patch from Fedora),
- properly notify nscd to flush its cache
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/186803),
- useradd, usermod: fixes for verify return values mkdir() and chown()
on copy files (merge 482_libmisc_copydir_check_return_values Debian
patch),
- login, su (non-PAM variant): export MAIL only when MAIL_CHECK_ENAB
is enabled (Mike Frysinger <vapier at gentoo.org>),
- pgck, grpck: warn when the members of a group differ in /etc/groups
and /etc/gshadow (fixed http://bugs.debian.org/75181),
- su: fixed exit with a status 0 when the invoked command is terminated
by a signal which was not catched
(fixed by Eero Häkkinen <eero17 at bigfoot.com>),
- login: cancel login timeout after authentication so that patient
people timing out on network directory services can log in with local
accounts (http://bugs.debian.org/107148),
- chgpasswd: fixes for build correctly with --disable-shadowgrp
(patch by Johannes Winkelmann <jw at tks6.net>).
