[ This is the original comp.os.linux.announce posting (only the
|
|
author's name and e-mail address has been updated), kept here
|
|
for historical reasons. Many things have changed since then.
|
|
Linux distributions are using it, and the mailing list address
|
|
has been changed. See README.linux (in the same directory)
|
|
for more up to date information. --marekm ]
|
|
|
|
This is a new beta release of the Shadow Password Suite for Linux.
|
|
Many bugs have been reported (and fixed!), and the package is now
|
|
under a BSD-style copyright. It was written by Julianne F. Haugh
|
|
<jfh@austin.ibm.com>, and the Linux port is now maintained by me.
|
|
|
|
Again, this is beta software which may still have some bugs, please
|
|
treat it as such. Please don't install it if you don't know what
|
|
you're doing. Please test it as much as you can, and report any
|
|
bugs - if you report them, they will be fixed! If all goes well,
|
|
Shadow should be stable enough for general use within a few months.
|
|
Once it is stable, Linux distributions can start using it - there
|
|
are no copyright problems anymore.
|
|
|
|
Thanks to Greg Gallagher <ggallag@orion.it.luc.edu> there is now
|
|
a developers mailing list, shadow-list@neptune.cin.net. Send the
|
|
command "subscribe" to shadow-list-request@neptune.cin.net (NOT to
|
|
the mailing list itself!) to subscribe if you are interested.
