4.14.7: Casín aged++++++

shadow-4.14.7 (Casín) - shadow utils

Changes since shadow-4.14.6:

• Global:
  • Hardcode program names (used in error messages).
  • Open fds 0,1,2 to /dev/null, if they were closed.
• Manual:
  • Fix incorrect number in French translation of useradd(8).
• libshadow:
  • Don't clobber buffer in calls to fstatat(2).

4.15.1: Dubliner+

The main point of this release is to fix a bug that caused spurious error messages about unknown login.defs configuration options

4.15.0: Dubliner

Releasing shadow 4.15.0: Dubliner

• libshadow:
  • Use utmpx instead of utmp. This fixes a regression introduced in
    4.14.0.
  • Fix build error (parameter name omitted).
• Build system:
  • Link correctly with libdl.
  • Install pam configs for chpasswd(8) and newusers(8) when using
    ./configure --with-libpam --disable-account-tools-setuid.
  • Merge libshadow and libmisc into a single libshadow. This fixes
    problems in the linker, which were reported at least in Gentoo.
  • Fix build with musl libc.
  • Support out of tree builds
• useradd(8):
  • Set proper SELinux labels for def_usrtemplate

Dubliner around noon

A hopefully second-to last pre-release for anyone who wants to test a few days early.

shadow-4.14.6 (Casín) - shadow utils

Bugfix release. Changes since shadow-4.14.0:

shadow-4.14.6:

• login(1):
  • Fix off-by-one bugs.
• passwd(1):
  • Don't silently truncate passwords of length >= 200 characters.
    Instead, accept a length of PASS_MAX, and reject longer ones.
• libshadow:
  • Fix calculation in strtoday(), which caused a wrong half-day
    offset in some cases.
  • Fix parsing of dates in get_date().
  • Use utmpx instead of utmp. This fixes a regression introduced in
    4.14.0.

shadow-4.14.5:
