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.

66897b6f6d Add ability to clear or set lastlog record for user via lastlog command
This functionality is useful because there is now a feature
of Linux-PAM's pam_lastlog module to block expired users (users
which did not login recently enough) from login. This commit
complements it so the sysadmin is able to unblock such expired user.

a113b87c45 newuidmap/newgidmap: added support for user matching by UID in /etc/sub[ug]id
Until now only exact username specification in /etc/sub[ug]id file allowed the
mapping. This prevented normal use for those users who use multiple usernames
with the same UID, as it rejected mapping even though it was allowed for
another username with the same UID.

This patch initially retains the old behaviour, for performance's sake. In the
first pass, new[ug]idmap only searches for exact username match.
If that yields no valid results, it continues into another loop, which does UID
resolution and comparison. If either definition (numeric UID mapping
specification or mapping specification for another username with the same UID as
current username) is found, it is used.

980c804153 man: newuid and newgid: point out that root must be allocated subuids
Users may otherwise be confused and think that because the kernel
does not restrict uid mappings to the root user (within his
current uid mappings), newuidmap will ignore /etc/subuid for the
root user.  It will not.
