This option can be used to set a separate mode for useradd(8) and
newusers(8) to create the home directories with.
If this option is not set, the current behavior of using UMASK
or the default umask is preserved.
There are many distributions that set UMASK to 077 by default just
to create home directories not readable by others and use things like
/etc/profile, bashrc or sudo configuration files to set a less
restrictive
umask. This has always resulted in bug reports because it is hard
to follow as users tend to change files like bashrc and are not about
setting the umask to counteract the umask set in /etc/login.defs.
A recent change in sudo has also resulted in many bug reports about
this. sudo now tries to respect the umask set by pam modules and on
systems where pam does not set a umask, the login.defs UMASK value is
used.

With this, it is possible for Linux distributors to store their
supplied default configuration files somewhere below /usr, while
/etc only contains the changes made by the user. The new option
--enable-vendordir defines where the shadow suite should additional
look for login.defs if this file is not in /etc.
libeconf is a key/value configuration file reading library, which
handles the split of configuration files in different locations
and merges them transparently for the application.
As the large uids are usually provided by remote user identity and
authentication service, which also provide user login tracking,
there is no need to create a huge sparse file for them on every local
machine.
fixup! login.defs: Add LASTLOG_UID_MAX variable to limit lastlog to small uids.
Without this patch, PAM enabled builds crash when encountering an
invalid key in login.defs or key overrides because of array overflows
To reproduce, simply
useradd -K Windows=broken

When compiled with PAM certain settings are not used, however they are
still defined in the stock login.defs file. Thus every command reports
them as "unknown setting contact administrator".
Alternative would be to parse stock login.defs and comment out/remove
settings that are not applied, when compiled with PAM.
These files list the set of subordinate uids and gids that users are allowed
to use. The expect use case is with the user namespace but other uses are
allowed.

variable: MAX_MEMBERS_PER_GROUP. Used for the split groups support.
* lib/commonio.c, lib/commonio.h: Add an open_hook and close_hook
operation. They are called after the database is actually opened
and parse, or before it is closed.
* lib/groupio.c: Add an open_hook to merge split groups, and an
close group to split groups if MAX_MEMBERS_PER_GROUP is set.
This fixes gpasswd and chgpasswd when split groups are used.
* lib/sgroupio.c, lib/shadowio.c, lib/pwio.c: No open or close
hooks for these databases. (unsure about what should be the gshadow
behavior for split groups)

* libmisc/salt.c: Add parameter to SHA_salt_rounds to force the
number of rounds.
* libmisc/salt.c, lib/getdef.c: ENCRYPT_METHOD and MD5_CRYPT_ENAB
are needed also when USE_PAM (e.g. for chpasswd).
* src/newusers.c, src/gpasswd.c: Use the new crypt_make_salt prototype.
* src/chpasswd.c, src/chgpasswd.c: Add option -c, --crypt-method
and -s, --sha-rounds to specify the crypt method and number of
rounds in case of one of the SHA methods. The new prototype of

shadow-4.0.18.1-sha256.patch. Thanks to Peter Vrabec. Hardly no changes
except re-indent and changes related to recent modifications (max_salt_len
in crypt_make_salt). Changes in lib/defines.h not applied (definition of
ENCRYPTMETHOD_SELECT). I will add a configure check or flag.
