the failure is logged to libaudit (use a global user_name and user_uid

Merge RedHat's patch shadow-4.0.18.1-findNewUidOnce.patch:
* src/useradd.c (usr_update): Do not call find_new_uid(). The UID was
already either specified or found by another call to find_new_uid().
* src/useradd.c (find_new_uid): Always start with uid_min (find_new_uid()
is never called when user_id was already specified).
* src/useradd.c (find_new_uid): Fix the comments (find_new_uid() is not
called when the UID is specified (uflg)).
* src/useradd.c (main): Only call find_new_uid() if (!oflg) and (!uflg).
If uflg is set (but not oflg), check the UID uniqueness.
* src/useradd.c (find_new_uid): Don't check the uid and user name
uniqueness in find_new_uid(). The user name uniqueness is already checked
during the parameter validation. UID uniqueness is also checked (see
above).
* src/useradd.c (find_new_uid): Don't check uflg in find_new_uid().
* src/useradd.c (find_new_uid): Make sure that find_new_uid() is not

Cleanups in find_new_gid:

* src/useradd.c (find_new_gid): Remove irrelevant comments.
* src/useradd.c (find_new_gid): Fix the function definition's comment.

to the support for these algorithms in the code).
* libmisc/obscure.c, libmisc/salt.c, src/newusers.c,
src/chpasswd.c, src/chgpasswd.c, src/passwd.c: ENCRYPT_METHOD is

preprocessor condition.
* libmisc/obscure.c, libmisc/salt.c, src/newusers.c,
src/chpasswd.c, src/chgpasswd.c, src/passwd.c: Disable SHA256 and
SHA512 if USE_SHA_CRYPT is not defined (this corresponds to a
subset of the ENCRYPTMETHOD_SELECT sections).
Thanks to Dan Kopecek <dkopecek@redhat.com>.

Kopecek <dkopecek@redhat.com>.
* NEWS, man/chpasswd.8.xml, man/chgpasswd.8.xml: Do not mention
DES as the default algorithm.
* src/chpasswd.c, src/chgpasswd.c: Tag the ENCRYPTMETHOD_SELECT
dependent code accordingly.
* src/chpasswd.c: Added --sha-rounds to the usage().
* libmisc/Makefile.am, libmisc/getlong.c, src/chgpasswd.c,
src/chpasswd.c: New getlong function. Replace chpasswd's and
chgpasswd's getnumber.
gr_locate and sgr_locate. gpasswd write in the file database. Thus
it should read information from the file database, not using
getgrnam. The change to sgr_locate is just for consistency. This

gr_open/sgr_open.

size_t for lengths).
* src/chpasswd.c, src/chgpasswd.c: Add missing parenthesis.
crypt_make_salt to force the crypt method and number of rounds.
* libmisc/salt.c: Add parameter to SHA_salt_rounds to force the

* libmisc/salt.c, lib/getdef.c: ENCRYPT_METHOD and MD5_CRYPT_ENAB
are needed also when USE_PAM (e.g. for chpasswd).
* src/newusers.c, src/gpasswd.c: Use the new crypt_make_salt prototype.
* src/chpasswd.c, src/chgpasswd.c: Add option -c, --crypt-method
and -s, --sha-rounds to specify the crypt method and number of
rounds in case of one of the SHA methods. The new prototype of
crypt_make_salt simplifies the handling of -m, --md5.
shadow-4.0.18.1-sha256.patch. Thanks to Peter Vrabec. Hardly no changes
except re-indent and changes related to recent modifications (max_salt_len
in crypt_make_salt). Changes in lib/defines.h not applied (definition of
ENCRYPTMETHOD_SELECT). I will add a configure check or flag.
* src/login.c: "dereferencing type-punned pointer will break
strict-aliasing rules", add a variable indirection: ptr_pam_user.
* lib/commonio.c: do not initialize the sb stat structure.
* lib/pwio.c, lib/shadowio.c, lib/sgroupio.c, lib/groupio.c:
initialize the security context if WITH_SELINUX.
* lib/nscd.c: The service argument is not const (used in the exec*
parameters). This matches with the prototype definition.
* src/groupmems.c: Avoid ++i when i is also used in the same line.
* src/newusers.c: i is positive every time it is compared. Add
cast to unsigned int.
* src/nologin.c: Use a main() prototype with no arguments.
* libmisc/getdate.y: Initialize the type and value fields of the
terminating entry for each TABLE.
* libmisc/tz.c: Use "TZ=CST6CDT" as the default timezone.
libmisc/xgetXXbyYY.c, libmisc/xgetpwnam.c, libmisc/xgetpwuid.c,
libmisc/xgetgrnam.c, libmisc/xgetgrgid.c, libmisc/xgetspnam.c:
Added functions xgetpwnam(), xgetpwuid(), xgetgrnam(),
xgetgrgid(), and xgetspnam(). They allocate memory for the

are implemented with the libc's getxxyyy_r() functions if

usage of one of the getpwnam(), getpwuid(), getgrnam(),
getgrgid(), and getspnam() functions. It was noticed on
http://bugs.debian.org/341230 that chfn and chsh use a passwd
structure after calling a pam function, which result in using
information from the passwd structure requested by pam, not the
original one. It is much easier to use the new xget... functions
to avoid these issues. I've checked which call to the original
get... functions could be left (reducing the scope of the
structure if possible), and I've left comments to ease future
reviews (e.g. /* local, no need for xgetpwnam */).
Note: the getpwent/getgrent calls should probably be checked also.

* libmisc/Makefile.am, lib/groupmem.c, lib/groupio.c, lib/pwmem.c,

to the new <xx>mem.c files. This avoid linking some utils against
the SELinux library.

This change the fix committed on 2007-11-10. The salt provided to
pw_encrypt could have been too long.
