* NEWS: 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.
