removed is used by different entries (like commonio_update does).
* NEWS: This fix the behavior of groupdel when the system is not
configured to support split group but different group entries
have the name of the group to be deleted.
unlocked on exit. Add function fail_exit(). Use fail_exit()
instead of exit().
* src/groupdel.c: Fail immediately instead of increasing errors.
Better handling of error cases, like locked group or gshadow file.
to Christian Henz (http://bugs.debian.org/467488)
* src/gpasswd.c (get_group): Do not fail if gshadow is not present. Just use
the group file and set the grent structure
* src/gpasswd.c (check_perms): The permissions should be checked
using both the gshadow and group file. Add a <struct group *>
parameter, and check if the gshadow file exists (is_shadowgrp).
* src/gpasswd.c (main): Do not use sgent.sg_mem or sgent.sg_adm if
the gshadow file is not present (sgent is not initialized in that
case). The fields of sgent can be set, but not used.
* src/newusers.c: The user's ID must be found before the group ID
to mimic useradd's behavior choices of UID and GID.
* src/newusers.c: Reuse the generic find_new_uid() and
find_new_gid() functions. This permits to respect the
UID_MIN/UID_MAX and GID_MIN/GID_MAX variables, should
* src/newusers.c: Check if the user or group exist using the
external databases (with the libc getpwnam/getgrnam functions).
Refuse to update an user which exist in an external database but
does not exist in the local database.
* src/newusers.c: Check the usernames and groupnames with
check_user_name() and check_group_name()
* src/newusers.c: Use isdigit() for readability.
* src/newusers.c: Check if numerical IDs are valid (no remaining
chars).
* NEWS, src/newusers.c: Fix the support for the NONE crypt method.
* src/newusers.c: Fix shadow group support (the list of admins was
not defined; it is now set to an empty list).
microseconds to avoid having the same salt for different passwords
generated in the same second. This permits to avoid using the same salt
for different passwords in newusers.
differ from the old ones. If a requested new value is equal to the old
one, no changes will be performed for that field. If no fields are
changed, usermod will exist successfully with a warning. This avoids
logging changes to syslog when there are actually no changes.
unknown GID (either the user was deleted during the user's newgrp
session or the user's passwd entry referenced an invalid group).
Add a syslog warning in that case.
* src/newgrp.c: Add an end of line when reporting an invalid
password.
(it required an argument, but should behave as -D)
* NEWS, man/useradd.8.xml: Document the --defaults option, which
was already described in the useradd's Usage information.
changes, except for the following bug fix: no syslog logging if a passwd
or group file was specified on the command line without a shadowed
database file, even if the system shadowed database was changed).
* src/chage.c: New function: fail_exit(). Change most of the exit()
to a fail_exit, which makes sure the files are unlocked (new global
variables: pw_locked, spw_locked), the PAM transaction is ended, and
the failure is logged to libaudit (use a global user_name and user_uid
for logging).
* src/chage.c: Compilation fix for PAM support (pamh needs to be
global since the function split).
* src/chage.c: Document process_flags(), check_flags(), check_perms(),
open_files(), and close_files().
* src/chage.c: Split update_age() and get_defaults() out of main()
* src/chage.c: Drop the privileges just after opening the files.
* src/chage.c: Do not log to audit only if the user has an entry in
the shadow file.
* NEWS, src/chage.c (open_files): Also open the password file for
writing. This fix chage when the user only has a password entry (and
no shadow entries).
* src/chage.c (get_defaults): Use default values that don't change the
behavior of the account for the fields that are not specified when the
user has no shadow entry.
* NEWS, libmisc/setupenv.c: Export PATH according to ENV_PATH and
ENV_SUPATH, as for su. This impacts login.
* man/login.1.xml: PATH and SUPATH are now used both when PAM support
is disabled and enabled.
* NEWS: Document that usermod will now preserve user's file modification
and access time.
* libmisc/copydir.c: Preserve the access and modification time of copied
files. This is important for usermod. This will also impact useradd, for
the skeleton files, but this is not important.
* libmisc/copydir.c: Stop and return an error if a file could not be
closed after during a copy.
Thanks to Dan Kopecek <dkopecek@redhat.com>.
* src/chpasswd.c, src/chgpasswd.c: Do not use DES by default, but
the system default define in /Etc/login.defs. Thanks to Dan
Kopecek <dkopecek@redhat.com>.
* NEWS, man/chpasswd.8.xml, man/chgpasswd.8.xml: Do not mention
DES as the default algorithm.
* src/chpasswd.c, src/chgpasswd.c: Tag the ENCRYPTMETHOD_SELECT
dependent code accordingly.
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)
gr_locate and sgr_locate. gpasswd write in the file database. Thus
it should read information from the file database, not using
getgrnam. The change to sgr_locate is just for consistency. This
requires opening the group databases (read only) using
gr_open/sgr_open.
* NEWS: Indicate that manpages should be re-generated if configure
option are changed, due to conditions.
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.
