configure option. The configure behavior encoded is:
<no option> -> default of 16 (like today);
--with-group-name-max-length -> default of 16;
--without-group-name-max-length -> no max length;
--with-group-name-max-length=n > max is set to n.
utmp.c to chowntty.c. checkutmp() now only uses an existing utmp
entry if the pid matches and ut_line matches with the current tty.
This fixes a possible DOS when entries can be forged in the utmp
file.
* libmisc/chowntty.c, src/login.c, lib/prototypes.h: Remove the
tty argument from chown_tty. chown_tty always changes stdin and
does not need this argument anymore.
man/grpck.8.xml: Sorted SEE ALSO references.
* man/gshadow.5.xml: Added reference to grpck(8) and grpconv(8).
* man/pwck.8.xml: Added reference to grpck(8).
* man/shadow.5.xml: Added reference to pwck(8).
* man/passwd.5.xml: Added reference to pwck(8).
* man/grpck.8.xml: Added reference to pwck(8).
parameter of -f. Fix the getopt optstring, remove the parsing of
username in the -f processing block, and remove unnecessary checks
(username cannot be parsed twice anymore), better documentation of
the synopsis.
caller, not the user login tries to authenticate.
* src/login.c: Use pwd->pw_name instead of pwd->pw_uid. This might
be more precise (name must be unique, uid might not be).
* src/pwck.c: Only unlock files if they were locked before (e.g.
not in read-only mode).
* src/pwck.c: Quote the username in error messages (harmonization
with other messages).
* libmisc/find_new_gid.c: Fixed typo (s/grp->gr_gid/group_id/).
* libmisc/find_new_gid.c: Likewise.
to create a home directory for new users.
* src/useradd.c, man/useradd.8.xml: New -M/--no-create-home option
and CREATE_HOME usage. System accounts are not impacted by
CREATE_HOME.
* man/useradd.8.xml: Indicate that a new group is created by
default.
* src/useradd.c: Removed TODO item (moved to the TODO file).
Thanks to Peter Vrabec.
* NEWS, libmisc/find_new_gid.c, libmisc/find_new_uid.c: Build an
index of used IDs to avoid a database request for each id in the
allowed range (when the highest allowed ID is already used).
This speedups the addition of users or groups when the highest
allowed ID is already used. The additional memory usage of the
tools should be acceptable when UID_MAX/SYS_UID_MAX are set to a
reasonable number.
* src/userdel.c, src/newusers.c, src/chpasswd.c, src/chfn.c,
src/groupmems.c, src/usermod.c, src/groupdel.c, src/chgpasswd.c,
src/useradd.c, src/groupmod.c, src/groupadd.c, src/chage.c,
src/chsh.c: If the username cannot be determined, report it as
such (not a PAM authentication failure).
--disable-account-tools-setuid options. This permits to disable
the PAM authentication of the caller for chage, chgpasswd,
chpasswd, groupadd, groupdel, groupmod, newusers, useradd,
userdel, and usermod. This authentication is not necessary when
these tools are not installed setuid root.
enable/disable the usage of PAM to authenticate the callers of
account management tools: chage, chgpasswd, chpasswd, groupadd,
groupdel, groupmod, useradd, userdel, usermod.
* src/Makefile.am: Do not link the above tools with libpam if
account-tools-setuid is disabled.
* src/userdel.c, src/newusers.c, src/chpasswd.c, src/usermod.c,
src/groupdel.c, src/chgpasswd.c, src/useradd.c, src/groupmod.c,
src/groupadd.c, src/chage.c: Implement ACCT_TOOLS_SETUID
(--enable-account-tools-setuid).
* etc/pam.d/Makefile.am: Install the pam service file for the
above tools only when needed.
* src/useradd.c, src/userdel.c, src/usermod.c: It is no more
needed to initialize retval to PAM_SUCCESS.
