when the changes are committed to the system. Do not log failure
for on-memory changes to audit or syslog. Make sure failures and
inconsistencies will be reported in case of unexpected failures
(e.g. malloc failures). Only specify an audit message if it is not
implicitly implied by the type argument. Removed fail_exit
(replaced by atexit(do_cleanups)). Log failures in case of
permission denied.
messages not related to an account.
* lib/prototypes.h, libmisc/cleanup.c, libmisc/cleanup_group.c,
libmisc/cleanup_user.c, libmisc/Makefile.am: Added stack of
cleanup functions to be executed on exit.
* NEWS, src/groupadd.c, src/groupdel.c, src/groupmod.c: Only
report success to audit and syslog when the changes are committed
to the system. Do not log failure for on-memory changes to audit
or syslog. Make sure failures and inconsistencies will be reported
in case of unexpected failures (e.g. malloc failures). Only
specify an audit message if it is not implicitly implied by the
type argument. Removed fail_exit (replaced by atexit(do_cleanups)).
configure option. The configure behavior encoded is:
<no option> -> default of 16 (like today);
--with-group-name-max-length -> default of 16;
--without-group-name-max-length -> no max length;
--with-group-name-max-length=n > max is set to n.
utmp.c to chowntty.c. checkutmp() now only uses an existing utmp
entry if the pid matches and ut_line matches with the current tty.
This fixes a possible DOS when entries can be forged in the utmp
file.
* libmisc/chowntty.c, src/login.c, lib/prototypes.h: Remove the
tty argument from chown_tty. chown_tty always changes stdin and
does not need this argument anymore.
man/grpck.8.xml: Sorted SEE ALSO references.
* man/gshadow.5.xml: Added reference to grpck(8) and grpconv(8).
* man/pwck.8.xml: Added reference to grpck(8).
* man/shadow.5.xml: Added reference to pwck(8).
* man/passwd.5.xml: Added reference to pwck(8).
* man/grpck.8.xml: Added reference to pwck(8).
parameter of -f. Fix the getopt optstring, remove the parsing of
username in the -f processing block, and remove unnecessary checks
(username cannot be parsed twice anymore), better documentation of
the synopsis.
caller, not the user login tries to authenticate.
* src/login.c: Use pwd->pw_name instead of pwd->pw_uid. This might
be more precise (name must be unique, uid might not be).
* src/pwck.c: Only unlock files if they were locked before (e.g.
not in read-only mode).
* src/pwck.c: Quote the username in error messages (harmonization
with other messages).
* libmisc/find_new_gid.c: Fixed typo (s/grp->gr_gid/group_id/).
* libmisc/find_new_gid.c: Likewise.
to create a home directory for new users.
* src/useradd.c, man/useradd.8.xml: New -M/--no-create-home option
and CREATE_HOME usage. System accounts are not impacted by
CREATE_HOME.
* man/useradd.8.xml: Indicate that a new group is created by
default.
* src/useradd.c: Removed TODO item (moved to the TODO file).
