[Pkg-shadow-devel] shadow 4.1.2.2 released

[Nicolas François]

Hello,

I've released shadow 4.1.2.2.

You can find the 4.1.2.2 archive in:
ftp://pkg-shadow.alioth.debian.org/pub/pkg-shadow/shadow-4.1.2.2.tar.bz2
ftp://pkg-shadow.alioth.debian.org/pub/pkg-shadow/shadow-4.1.2.2.tar.bz2.sig

Here is the comprehensive changelog for this release:

shadow-4.1.4.1 -> shadow-4.1.4.2						2009-07-24

- general
  * Improved support for large groups (impacts most user/group management
    tools).

- addition of system users or groups
  * Speed improvement. This should be noticeable in case of LDAP configured
    systems. This should impact useradd, groupadd, and newusers
  * Since system accounts are allocated from SYS_?ID_MIN to SYS_?ID_MAX in
    reverse order, accounts are packed close to SYS_?ID_MAX if SYS_?ID_MIN
    is already used but there are still dome gaps.

- login
  * Add support for shells being a shell script without a shebang.
- su
  * Preserve the DISPLAY and XAUTHORITY environment variables. This was
    only the case in the non PAM enabled versions.
  * Add support for shells being a shell script without a shebang.

*** translation
  * The Finnish translation of passwd(1) was outdated and is no more
    distributed.
