Hello,
The shadow tool suite 4.0.18.2 has been released and new tar balls are
available on:
ftp://pkg-shadow.alioth.debian.org/pub/pkg-shadow
This is a minor release, which include mostly fixes coming from the
previous shadow repository.
It also aims at checking if it can be released correctly from its new
home: http://pkg-shadow.alioth.debian.org
I've started reviewing the patches used by some distributions. I expect
some of these patches (or parts of them) to be included in 4.0.19.
shadow-4.0.18.1 -> shadow-4.0.18.2 28-10-2007
*** general:
- usermod: fixed handle -a option (by Benno Schulenberg
<bensberg at justemail.net>),
- useradd: improved auditing support
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=211659),
- groupadd, groupdel, groupmod, useradd, userdel, usermod: flush nscd cashes
after close /etc/{group,passwd} files,
- su: If compiled without PAM support, enforce the limits from /etc/limits
when one of the -, -l, or --login options is set, even if called by root.
- limits: Support for 2 new resource limits: max nice value, and max real
time priority. The resource limits are not used when compiled with PAM.
*** documentation:
- updated translations: fi, ja, nl, tl, zh_CN.
- groupadd.8, groupmod.8, login.1, useradd.8, userdel.8, usermod.8: grammar
mistakes and other corrections (by Schulenberg <bensberg at justemail.net>),
Kind Regards,
