Package: libpam-modules
Version: 0.76-22
Severity: normal
In trying to allow remote logins on my Sarge system, I was advised to
edit /etc/security/limits.conf. I wanted to be sure what I was doing
was correct, so I checked the man page. That page claims that
limits.conf lines are of the form:
username L2 D2048 N5
However, my actual limits.conf file has lines of the form:
#@student - maxlogins 4
It's confusing.

Changes:
shadow (1:4.0.3-36) unstable; urgency=low
.
* Debian specific programs fixes:
- Re-enable logging and displaying failures on login when login is
compiled with PAM and when FAILLOG_ENAB is set to yes. And create the
faillog file if it does not exist on postinst (as on Woody).
Closes: #192849
- do not localize login's syslog messages.
* Debian packaging fixes:
- Fix FTBFS with new dpkg 1.13 and use a correct dpkg-architecture
invocation. Closes: #314407
- Add a comment about potential sensitive information exposure
when LOG_UNKFAIL_ENAB is set in login.defs
Closes: #298773
- Remove limits.5 and limits.conf.5 man pages which do not
reflect the way we deal with limits in Debian
Closes: #288106, #244754
- debian/login.defs:
- Make SU_PATH and PATH consistent with the values used in /etc/profile
Closes: #286616
- Comment the UMASK setting which is more confusing than useful
as it only affects console logins. Better use pam_umask instead
Closes: #314539, #248150
- Add a comment about "appropriate" values for umask
Closes: #269583
- Correct the assertion about the variable defined by QMAIL_DIR
which is MAILDIR, not MAIL
Closes: #109279
- Move the PASS_MAX_LEN variable at the end of login.defs as this
is obsoleted when using PAM
Closes: #87301
- debian/passwd.config:
- Re-enable the password confirmation question at critical priority
Closes: #304350
- Do no prompt again for the login name when the two passwords don't
match while creating a new user
Closes: #245332
- debian/add-shell.sh, debian/remove-shell.sh, debian/shadowconfig.sh,
debian/passwd.config, debian/passwd.postinst:
- checked for bashisms, replaced "#!/bin/bash" with "#!/bin/sh",
Closes: #315767
- replaced "test XXX -a YYY" XSI:isms with "test XXX && test YYY",
for rationale see:
http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/utilities/test.html
- replaced all unneeded "egrep"s with basic "grep"s
Closes: #256732
- debian/rules:
Remove the setuid bit on login
Closes: #298060
- debian/passwd.templates:
Templates rewrite to shorten them down a little and make them DTSG
compliant. Give more details about what the user's full name is used
for.
Closes: #287410
- Updated to Standards: 3.6.2 (checked)
* Debconf translation updates:
- Estonian added. Closes: #312471
- Basque updated. Closes: #314303
- Malagasy updated. Closes: #290842
- Punjabi updated. Closes: #315372
- Danish updated. Closes: #315378

- Brazilian Portuguese updated. Closes: #315426
- Czech updated. Closes: #315429
- Spanish updated. Closes: #315434
- Lithuanian updated. Closes: #315483
- Galician updated. Closes: #315362
- Portuguese updated. Closes: #315375
- Simplified Chinese updated. Closes: #315567
- French updated
- Ukrainian updated. Closes: #315727
- Welsh updated. Closes: #315809
- Slovak updated. Closes: #315812
- Romanian updated. Closes: #315783
- Finnish updated. Closes: #315972
- Catalan updated. Closes: #316026
* Man pages translation updates:
- Remove the too outdated Korean translation of newgrp.1
which doesn't even mention sg
Closes: #261490
* Man pages correction for Debian specific issues:
- 402_usermod.8-system-users-range-286258:
Document the system user range from 0 to 999 in Debian
Closes: #286258
* Upstream bugs not fixed in upstream releases or CVS:
- 423_su_pass_args_without_concatenation
Thanks to Helmut Waitzmann.
Closes: #276419
* pass the argument to the shell or command without concatenation
before the call to exec.
* If no command is provided, the arguments after the username are for
the shell, no -c has to be appended.
- 008_su_ignore_SIGINT
* Also ignore SIGQUIT in su to avoid defeating the delay.
The gain in security is very minor.
Closes: #288827
- 424_pwck.8_quiet_option
pwck(8): document the -q option. Closes: #309408
- 425_lastlog_8_sparse
lastlog(8): Document that lastlog is a sparse file, and don't need to be
rotated. Closes: #219321
- 426_grpck_group-gshadow_members_consistency
* (grpck) warn for inconsistencies between members in /etc/group and gshadow
Closes: #75181
* (pwck and grpck) warn and propose a fix for entries present in the
regular /etc/group or /etc/passwd files and not in shadow/gshadow.
- 427_chage_expiry_0
Fix chage display in the case of null expiry fields (do not display
Never, but 01 Jan 1970)
Closes: #78961
* Upstream bugs already fixed in upstream releases or CVS:
- Corrected typos in chfn.1. Closes: #312428
- Corrected typos in gshadow.5. Closes: #312429
- Corrected typos in shadow.5. Closes: #312430
- Corrected typos in grpck.8. Closes: #312431
- Added patch (356th) for su to propagate SIGSTOP up and SIGCONT down.
Added similar patch (357th) for newgrp. Both changes only affect
operation with CLOSE_SESSION set to yes (in /etc/login.defs).
Closes: #314727
* Translation updates:
- debian/patches/010_more-i18ned-messages
- More messages are translatable. We will deal with the translation
updates after syncing with upstream.
Closes: #266281
- debian/patches/114_eu:
- Basque translation update. Closes: #314423
- debian/patches/132_vi.dpatch:
- Vietnamese translation update. Closes: #315840
