ed neville 65470e5c7d changing lock mechanism 
Systems can suffer power interruptions whilst .lock files are in /etc,
preventing scripts and other automation tools from updating shadow's
files which persist across boots.

This commit replaces that mechanism with file locking to avoid problems
of power interruption/crashing.

Minor tweak to groupmems man page, requested by 'xx' on IRC.

README.md

The official releases ship with pre-built manpages.

The content of the man pages however is dependent on compile flags. So the pre-built ones might not fit your version of shadow. To build them yourself use --enable-man. Furthermore the following build requirements will be needed:

  • xsltproc
  • docbook 4
  • docbook stylesheets
  • itstool
