-e and -f require a shadow file.
* src/su.c: Added function prototypes.
* src/su.c: Rename shellstr parameter to shellname to avoid
collision with static variable.

prepare_pam_close_session() is now executed before the creation of

lead to execution with the caller's privileges. This required to
forward signals from the terminal (SIGINT, SIGQUIT, SIGTSTP) to
the executed command.

infinite limits.
* NEWS, libmisc/limits.c, man/limits.5.xml: Add support for @group

-a option.
* NEWS, man/faillog.8.xml, src/faillog.c: Extend the -a option to
the non-display mode. This changes the default behavior of the -l,
-m, -r, -t options when -a is not specified (restrict to existing
users).
* NEWS: Add support for TCB.
* lib/tcbfuncs.h, lib/tcbfuncs.c, lib/Makefile.am: New library to
support TCB.
* lib/prototypes, libmisc/copydir.c (remove_tree): Add boolean
parameter remove_root.
* configure.in: Add conditional WITH_TCB.
* src/userdel.c, src/usermod.c: Add support for TCB. Update call to
remove_tree().

src/faillog.c, src/chsh.c: If someone uses the -h/--help options,
the usage should not go to stderr nor should the utility exit with
non-zero status. All of the shadow utils do just this
unfortunately, so convert them over to sanity.
* man/groupmems.8.xml, man/gpasswd.1.xml: Added option -h/--help.
* NEWS, libmisc/find_new_gid.c, libmisc/find_new_uid.c: 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.
getpwent / getgrent for system accounts. Trying the low-IDs with
getpwuid / getgrgid should be more efficient on LDAP configured
systems with many accounts.
libmisc/xgetpwuid.c, libmisc/xgetgrgid.c, libmisc/xgetspnam.c: Do
not limit the size of the buffer to hold the group or user
structure. It used to be limited to 16k, which caused issues with
groups having many users.
* po/shadow.pot, man/po/shadow-man-pages.pot: Regenerated.
* po/*.po, man/po/*.po: Updated PO files.
* man/passwd.1.xml: passwd -u does not reset the expiry field.
* NEWS, src/userdel.c: When USERGROUPS_ENAB is enabled, remove the
user's group when the user was the only member. This is still not
complete, as the user could have been specified twice in the
members.

directory does not exist.
lib/prototypes.h: Move user_busy() to libmisc/user_busy.c.
* NEWS, libmisc/user_busy.c: 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.

* src/faillog.c: Do not call print_one() for users which do not
exist.
* src/faillog.c: Make sure the user's entry is not outside the
faillog file and initialize the faillog structure in that case.
* src/faillog.c: Move print_one() closer to print().
* src/faillog.c: reset(), setmax(), set_locktime() can also change
entries of user which do not exist.
* src/faillog.c: reset(), setmax() and set_locktime() shall not
create entries for users which have no entries if the value has to
be set to 0.
* src/faillog.c: reset(), setmax() and set_locktime(): better
handling of users whose entry is outside the faillog file.
* src/faillog.c: Improved option handling. Options can now be
specified in any order.
* src/faillog.c: Improved warnings when options are not
compatible or when the faillog cannot be open with the right mode.
* src/faillog.c: Only fstat the faillog file once.
* man/faillog.8.xml: Improved documentation.

for on-memory changes to audit or syslog. Make sure failures and
inconsistencies will be reported in case of unexpected failures
(e.g. malloc failures). Only specify an audit message if it is not

* lib/prototypes.h, libmisc/cleanup.c, libmisc/cleanup_group.c,
libmisc/cleanup_user.c, libmisc/Makefile.am: Added stack of
cleanup functions to be executed on exit.
* NEWS, src/groupadd.c, src/groupdel.c, src/groupmod.c: Only
report success to audit and syslog when the changes are committed
to the system. Do not log failure for on-memory changes to audit

--without-group-name-max-length -> no max length;
--with-group-name-max-length=n > max is set to n.
utmp.c to chowntty.c. checkutmp() now only uses an existing utmp
entry if the pid matches and ut_line matches with the current tty.
This fixes a possible DOS when entries can be forged in the utmp
file.
* libmisc/chowntty.c, src/login.c, lib/prototypes.h: Remove the
tty argument from chown_tty. chown_tty always changes stdin and
does not need this argument anymore.

* NEWS, libmisc/find_new_gid.c, libmisc/find_new_uid.c: Build an
index of used IDs to avoid a database request for each id in the
allowed range (when the highest allowed ID is already used).
This speedups the addition of users or groups when the highest
allowed ID is already used. The additional memory usage of the
tools should be acceptable when UID_MAX/SYS_UID_MAX are set to a
reasonable number.

* configure.in, libmisc/copydir.c: futimes() and lutimes() are not
standard. Check if they are implemented before using them. Do not
set the time of links if lutimes() does not exist, and use
utimes() as a replacement for futimes().

call of groupmems -d.
* libmisc/list.c: Add assertions to help identifying these issues.
* libmisc/list.c: Avoid implicit conversion of pointers to
booleans.
support for long options --add (-a), --delete (-d),
--remove-password (-r), --restrict (-R), --administrators (-A),

* man/gpasswd.1.xml: Document the new long options.
* src/gpasswd.c: The sgrp structure is only used if SHADOWGRP is
defined.
the --lock an --unlock options do not lock or unlock the user
account anymore. They only lock or unlock the user's password.
* man/passwd.1.xml: Document above change. Document how an account
can be locked and what a password lock means.
* src/groupmems.c: members() renamed display_members() to
avoid name clash with its members argument.
* src/groupmems.c: Report failure to unlock to syslog.
* src/groupmems.c: Harmonize error messages.
* src/groupmems.c: Report failures to write the new group file to
syslog (gr_close() failure).
* src/groupmems.c: Don't use fail_exit for non-failure exit.
* src/groupmems.c: Added Prog global variable to indicate the name
of the program in error messages.
