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.
Document new variables.
* man/newusers.8.xml, man/login.defs.5.xml,
man/login.defs.d/GID_MAX.xml, man/login.defs.d/UID_MAX.xml:
newusers uses now the GID_MAX, GID_MIN, UID_MAX, UID_MIN,
SYS_GID_MAX, SYS_GID_MIN, SYS_UID_MAX, and SYS_UID_MIN variables.
* man/groupadd.8.xml, man/login.defs.5.xml: groupadd uses now the
SYS_GID_MAX, and SYS_GID_MIN variables.
* man/login.defs.5.xml: useradd uses now the SYS_GID_MAX,
SYS_GID_MIN, SYS_UID_MAX, and SYS_UID_MIN variables.
- newusers: i = 100; not a nice initial value, use login.defs
This is done. newusers now uses (UID|GID)_(MIN|MAX)
- remove the entries regarding outdated translation of documentation.
The manpages translation should use the PO.
- the manpages should mention when the options were added.
This should help user to choose option for portable scripts
* 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.
