This is my wishlist for the shadow suite, in no particular order. Feel
|
|
free to do anything from this list and mail me the diffs :-).
|
|
|
|
Patches in diff -u format, against the latest version (sometimes in the
|
|
"beta" directory) are preferred and make my job easier. Please, no
|
|
MIME, base64, quoted-printable, or HTML. For very big patches, or if
|
|
your mailer can corrupt them, please use gzip and uuencode. Thanks!
|
|
|
|
New ideas to add to this list are welcome, too. --marekm
|
|
|
|
- fix all the bugs, of course
|
|
- implement "su only" accounts (no logins, only su from other account)
|
|
- rewrite getdef.c to be more general? (no hardcoded names)
|
|
- patch for rlogind/telnetd to create utmp entry and fill in ut_addr
|
|
- option to specify encrypted password in passwd (for yppasswdd, so it
|
|
doesn't need to know about shadow/non-shadow); should probably use a pipe
|
|
(less insecure than command line arguments)
|
|
- add support for changing NIS passwords
|
|
- add option to check passwords by piping them to external programs
|
|
- add functionality of the contrib/rpasswd.c wrapper to passwd
|
|
- option to generate pronounceable passwords (like on SCO), external program?
|
|
- poppassd (remote password change for eudora etc.)
|
|
- add support for passwd/shadow db files (glibc)
|
|
- vipw: check password files for errors after editing
|
|
- add "maximum time users allowed to stay logged in" limit option to logoutd
|
|
- handle quotes in /etc/environment like the shell does (but sshd doesn't...)
|
|
- better OPIE support (report number of logins left, etc.)
|
|
- new option for /etc/suauth: don't load user's environment (force "su -")
|
|
suggested by Ulisses Alonso Camaro
|
|
- find out why recent releases won't compile on Solaris
|
|
- newusers should be able to copy /etc/skel to the new home directory
|
|
(like useradd)
|
|
- add directories where other packages can add hooks for package-specific
|
|
per-user configuration, to be executed with run-parts. Some hooks should
|
|
be executed at package install time for existing users, likewise for
|
|
package removal and possibly modification. (Debian Bug#36019)
