check differences between chpasswd and chgpasswd check IS_ISLNK in lib/defines.h ALL: - move base passwd/shadow/group/gshadow operation to module for allow write different backend modules for db, NIS, LDAP and others. Default backend it will be goot if will be chosen depending on /etc/nsswitch.conf and allow override this by -r options (where the can be file, db, nis nisplus, ldap .. like on /etc/nsswitch.conf in service column). passwd have old piece of code with handling -r option and it will be good finish this and propagate on other shadow tools for allow operate on other user databases by well known tools. - Add/check support for split group Maybe that feature can be supported in gr_open/gr_close, with a variable in login.defs. - useradd: - add handle create user mail spool in maildir format. - add handle -n switch in groups and id command for allow query is group/user with specified id/gid exist - this will be very usable on automation in packages for query/check is group/user exist in system or not, - groupmems: - need some work on add PAM and i18n support. - userdel: - add backup option for the removal of user resources, - add lookop and remove per user group. - user_busy: check that the user is not running any processes. - passwd: - check combination of options (e.g. -u/-l) - newgrp: check the USE_PAM section. - groupmems: check reason for isgroup - chgpasswd: uses chpasswd's pam - groupconv: i = 100; no a nice initial value, use login.defs Documentation: - document the -s option of {pw,grp}ck in the pt_BR, and ja man pages - document -o option in ja man page,
