man/chage.1.xml: Indicate that -d option with a value of 0 forces the
user to change his password. Besides, set an example on how to use -E

inconsistencies between shadow and passwd files.

login.defs: warn about weak choices
According to crypt(5), MD5 and DES should not be used for new
hashes. Also the default number of SHA rounds chosen by libc is orders
of magnitude too low for modern hardware. Let's warn the users about
weak choices.

add new HOME_MODE login.defs(5) option
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.

a73d4aee75 man: Don't suggest making groupmems user-writeable
Suggesting mode 2770 is dangerous because it makes the binary writeable
by all members of the owning group which is supposed to be normal
end-users. Suggest 2710 instead as is usual for s[ug]id binaries,
allowing execution but neither reading nor writing.

4633164857 login.defs: Add LASTLOG_UID_MAX variable to limit lastlog to small uids.
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.
