new switch added to useradd command, --btrfs-subvolume-home. When
specified *and* the filesystem is detected as btrfs, it will create a
subvolume for user's home instead of a plain directory. This is done via
`btrfs subvolume` command. Specifying the new switch while trying to
create home on non-btrfs will result in an error.
userdel -r will handle and remove this subvolume transparently via
`btrfs subvolume` command. Previosuly this failed as you can't rmdir a
subvolume.
usermod, when moving user's home across devices, will detect if the home
is a subvolume and issue an error messages instead of copying it. Moving
user's home (as subvolume) on same btrfs works transparently.
The third field in the /etc/shadow file (sp_lstchg) contains the date of
the last password change expressed as the number of days since Jan 1, 1970.
As this is a relative time, creating a user today will result in:
username:17238:0:99999:7:::
whilst creating the same user tomorrow will result in:
username:17239:0:99999:7:::
This has an impact for the Reproducible Builds[0] project where we aim to
be independent of as many elements the build environment as possible,
including the current date.
This patch changes the behaviour to use the SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH[1]
environment variable (instead of Jan 1, 1970) if valid.

po/POTFILES.in: Add process_root_flag() to process the --root
option and chroot so that the chroot config is used and changes
are applied to the chroot.
entry validity before commits to databases.
* libmisc/fields.c, libmisc/Makefile.am, lib/fields.c,
lib/Makefile.am, po/POTFILES.in: fields.c moved from libmisc to
lib.
lib/prototypes.h: Move user_busy() to libmisc/user_busy.c.
* NEWS, libmisc/user_busy.c: On Linux, do not check if an user is
logged in with utmp, but check if the user is running some
processes. If not on Linux, continue to search for an utmp record,
but make sure the process recorded in the utmp entry is still
running.
libmisc/pam_pass_non_interractive.c, libmisc/Makefile.am: Renamed.
* libmisc/pam_pass_non_interractive.c, lib/prototypes.h:
non_interactive_password and non_interactive_pam_conv do not need
to be externally visible.
* libmisc/pam_pass_non_interractive.c: Added declaration of
ni_conv.
* libmisc/pam_pass_non_interractive.c: Only compile ifdef USE_PAM.
* libmisc/pam_pass_non_interractive.c, lib/prototypes.h:
Added do_pam_passwd_non_interractive().
* src/chpasswd.c: Use do_pam_passwd_non_interractive().
SELinux user for user's login.
* NEWS, src/usermod.c, man/usermod.8.xml: Likewise.
* libmisc/system.c, libmisc/Makefile.am, lib/prototypes.h: Added
safe_system(). Used to run semanage.
* lib/prototypes.h, libmisc/copydir.c: Make a
selinux_file_context() an extern function.
* libmisc/copydir.c: Reset SELinux to create files with default
contexts at the end of copy_tree().
* NEWS, src/userdel.c: Delete the SELinux user mapping for user's
login.
messages not related to an account.
* lib/prototypes.h, libmisc/cleanup.c, libmisc/cleanup_group.c,
libmisc/cleanup_user.c, libmisc/Makefile.am: Added stack of
cleanup functions to be executed on exit.
* NEWS, src/groupadd.c, src/groupdel.c, src/groupmod.c: Only
report success to audit and syslog when the changes are committed
to the system. Do not log failure for on-memory changes to audit
or syslog. Make sure failures and inconsistencies will be reported
in case of unexpected failures (e.g. malloc failures). Only
specify an audit message if it is not implicitly implied by the
type argument. Removed fail_exit (replaced by atexit(do_cleanups)).
libmisc/find_new_uid.c, libmisc/Makefile.am, lib/prototypes.h:
Split find_new_ids.c into find_new_gid.c and find_new_uid.c to
ease the description of login.defs variables in the different
tools.
* libmisc/Makefile.am, lib/prototypes.h, libmisc/yesno.c, src/grpck.c,
src/pwck.c: move yes_or_no() from grpck/pwck to a separate
libmisc/yesno.c (with a read_only argument).
* libmisc/fields.c, libmisc/yesno.c: Make sure stdout is flushed before
reading the user's answer.
* 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.
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
returned structure and are more robust to successive calls. They
are implemented with the libc's getxxyyy_r() functions if
available.

src/faillog.c, src/groups.c, src/chsh.c, src/id.c: Review all the
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.
* src/groupdel.c, src/expiry.c: Fix typos in comments.
* src/groupmod.c: Re-indent.
* libmisc/Makefile.am, lib/groupmem.c, lib/groupio.c, lib/pwmem.c,
lib/pwio.c, lib/shadowmem.c, lib/shadowio.c: Move the __<xx>_dup
functions (used by the xget... functions) from the <xx>io.c files
to the new <xx>mem.c files. This avoid linking some utils against
the SELinux library.
