[Pkg-shadow-devel] Info: prepare for release 4.0.15

[Tomasz Kłoczko]

Release shadow 4.0.15 is sheduled to next monday 13-03-2006.

As usual last week before release is only for critical bugs and update/new
translations.

Current list of changes:

shadow-4.0.14 -> shadow-4.0.15                                          13-03-2006

*** general:
- login: default UMASK if not specified in login.defs is 022 (pointed by
  Peter Vrabec <pvrabec at redhat.com>),
- chgpasswd: new tool (by Jonas Meurer <mejo at debian.org>),
- lastlog: print the usage and exit if an additional argument is profided to
  lastlog (merge 488_laslog_verify_arguments Debian patch),
- login, nologin, su: do not link with libselinux
  (merge 490_link_selinux_only_when_needed Debian patch),
- chage, chfn, chsh, passwd: fixed confusing error message if /proc is not mounted
  (http://bugs.debian.org/352494
  patch Nicolas François <nicolas.francois at centraliens.net>),
- login (merge 433_login_more_LOG_UNKFAIL_ENAB Debian patch):
  - TOO MANY LOGIN... logged if PAM_MAXTRIES or failcount >= retries
    (was onl test PAM_MAXTRIES),
  - print to stderr (in addition to syslog) in case of maximum number of
    tries exceeded,
  - always prints the number of tries in the syslog entry.
  - add special handling for PAM_ABORT
  - add an entry to failog, as when USE_PAM is not defined. (#53164)
  - changed pam_end to PAM_END. This is certainly was a mistake.
    PAM_END is pam_close_seesion + pam_end. Here, the session is still not
    open, we don't have to close it.
  - a HAVE_PAM_FAIL_DELAY is missing,
- su: fixed pam session support (patch from Topi Miettinen; fixed #57526, #55873,
  #57532 Debian bugs),
- userdel: user's group is already removed by update_groups(). remove_group()
  is not needed (bug introduced in 4.0.14 on merge FC fixes). Fixed by Nicolas
  François <nicolas.francois at centraliens.net>,
- useradd: allways remove group and gshadow databases lock,
  Fixed by Nicolas François <nicolas.francois at centraliens.net>
  (http://bugs.debian.org/348250)
- auditing fixes:
  - corrected prototypes in lib/prototypes.h (thre is no audit_help_log(); added
    audit_logger() prototype),
  - useradd: fixed excess audit_logger() argument,
- chage: added missing \n on display password status if password must be chaged,
- useradd: fixed allow non-unique UID (http://bugs.debian.org/351281),
- variouse code cleanups for make possible compilation of shadow with
  -Wall -Werror (by Alexander Gattin <xrgtn at yandex.ru>),
- su: move exit() outside libmisc/shell.c::shell() for handle shell() errors
  on higher level (now is better visable where some programs exit with 126 and
  127 exit codes); added new shell() parameter (char *const envp[]) which allow
  fix preserving enviloment in su on using -p,
  (patch by Alexander Gattin <xrgtn at yandex.ru>),
- su: added handle -c,--command option for GNU su compliance (merge
  437_su_-c_option Debian patch),
- login: added translate login prompt string (suggested by Evgeniy Dushistov),
- updated translations: ca, el, eu, gl, fr, it, pt, ro, ru, sk, sv, vi,
- new translations: gl.
*** documentation:
- login.defs(5): default UMASK if not specified in login.defs is 022
  (pointed by Peter Vrabec <pvrabec at redhat.com>),
- useradd(8): better document that -d will not add the user's home directory
  if it does not already exist (http://bugs.debian.org/154996),
- nologin(8) man pages added (merge 478_nologin.8.xml Debian patch).
