[Pkg-shadow-devel] Bug#300892: passwd: Missing references to /etc/login.defs and login.defs(5) in diverse manpages

[Gerhard Schrenk]

Package: passwd
Version: 1:4.0.3-30.7
Severity: minor

Hi,

in login.defs(5) there is a nice cross reference which programs in the shadow
password suite use which parameters. I have checked the manpages of the
different programes for missing references. Especially the missing references
in FILES and SEE ALSO sections are annoying.

chfn(1):     login.defs(5) [missing]; /etc/login.defs [ok]; CHFN_AUTH CHFN_RESTRICT [missing]
 
chsh(1):     login.defs(5) [missing]; /etc/login.defs [missing]; CHFN_AUTH [missing]

groupadd(8): login.defs(5) [missing]; /etc/login.defs [missing]; GID_MAX GID_MIN [missing]

newusers(8): login.defs(5) [missing]; /etc/login.defs [missing]; PASS_MAX_DAYS [missing]; PASS_MIN_DAYS [missing]; PASS_WARN_AGE UMASK [missing]

pwconv(8):   login.defs(5) [ok]; /etc/login.defs [ok but no FILE-section]; PASS_MAX_DAYS [ok]; PASS_MIN_DAYS [ok]; PASS_WARN_AGE [ok]

useradd(8):  login.defs(5) [missing]; /etc/login.defs [missing]; CREATE_HOME [missing]; GID_MAX [missing]; GID_MIN [missing]; PASS_MAX_DAYS [missing]; PASS_MIN_DAYS [missing]; PASS_WARN_AGE [missing]; UID_MAX [missing]; UID_MIN [missing]; UMASK [missing]

userdel(8):  login.defs(5) [missing]; /etc/login.defs [missing]; MAIL_DIR [missing]; USERDEL_CMD [missing]

usermod(8):  login.defs(5) [missing]; /etc/login.defs [missing]; MAIL_DIR [missing]
