This is my wishlist for the shadow suite, in no particular order. Feel
|
|
|
|
|
free to do anything from this list and mail me the diffs :-).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Patches in diff -u format, against the latest version (sometimes in the
|
|
|
|
|
"beta" directory) are preferred and make my job easier. Please, no
|
|
|
|
|
MIME, base64, quoted-printable, or HTML. For very big patches, or if
|
|
|
|
|
your mailer can corrupt them, please use gzip and uuencode. Thanks!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
New ideas to add to this list are welcome, too. --marekm
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- fix all the bugs, of course
|
|
|
|
|
- implement "su only" accounts (no logins, only su from other account)
|
|
|
|
|
- rewrite getdef.c to be more general? (no hardcoded names)
|
|
|
|
|
- update man pages to reflect all the changes (real programmers ... :-)
|
|
|
|
|
- patch for rlogind/telnetd to create utmp entry and fill in ut_addr
|
|
|
|
|
- fix the usermod -l bug properly [for now it's OK - #undef AUTH_METHODS]
|
|
|
|
|
- IMPORTANT: finish PAM support (passwd, su - done, untested; login - started)
|
|
|
|
|
- option to specify encrypted password in passwd (for yppasswdd, so it
|
|
|
|
|
doesn't need to know about shadow/non-shadow); should probably use a pipe
|
|
|
|
|
(less insecure than command line arguments)
|
|
|
|
|
- add support for changing NIS passwords
|
|
|
|
|
- clean up NDBM support, do it in the library and not in all programs
|
|
|
|
|
- add option to check passwords by piping them to external programs
|
|
|
|
|
- add functionality of the contrib/rpasswd.c wrapper to passwd
|
|
|
|
|
- option to generate pronounceable passwords (like on SCO), external program?
|
|
|
|
|
- poppassd (remote password change for eudora etc.)
|
|
|
|
|
- add support for passwd/shadow db files (glibc)
|
|
|
|
|
- better documentation
|
|
|
|
|
- su -l, -m, -p, -s options (as in GNU su)
|
|
|
|
|
- vipw: check password files for errors after editing
|
|
|
|
|
- clean up login utmp(x) handling code
|
|
|
|
|
- add "maximum time users allowed to stay logged in" limit option to logoutd
|
|
|
|
|
- handle quotes in /etc/environment like the shell does (but sshd doesn't...)
|
|
|
|
|
- write man pages: dialups.5, d_passwd.5
|
|
|
|
|
- better utmpx support (logoutd, ...)
|
2007-10-07 17:14:08 +05:30
|
|
|
- better OPIE support (report number of logins left, etc.)
|
2007-10-07 17:14:02 +05:30
|
|
|
- new option for /etc/suauth: don't load user's environment (force "su -")
|
|
|
|
|
suggested by Ulisses Alonso Camaro
|
|
|
|
|
- clean up error messages - "program_name: text of error message\n"
|
|
|
|
|
(maybe some common code for common messages about failing to lock/open
|
|
|
|
|
something)
|
|
|
|
|
- find out why recent releases won't compile on Solaris
|
|
|
|
|
- newusers UID/GID selection algorithm should be the same as useradd
|
|
|
|
|
(and use UID_MIN, UID_MAX from login.defs)
|
|
|
|
|
- newusers should be able to copy /etc/skel to the new home directory
|
|
|
|
|
(like useradd)
|
|
|
|
|
- include i18n files in Debian packages
|
|
|
|
|
- integrate the latest upstream version into the Debian distribution
|

|
|
|
(as of this writing, they still have shadow-980403 with huge diff,
|
|
|
|
|
and many bugs have been fixed since then)
|
|
|
|
|
- add directories where other packages can add hooks for package-specific
|
|
|
|
|
per-user configuration, to be executed with run-parts. Some hooks should
|
|
|
|
|
be executed at package install time for existing users, likewise for
|
|
|
|
|
package removal and possibly modification. (Debian Bug#36019)
