Announce: shadow 4.0.14

4.0.14 was released and new tar balls are avalaible in usual location on:

ftp://ftp.pld.org.pl/software/shadow/

This version have all roff man pages converted to UTF-8.
Warning to distributions shadow package maintainers: if your
distribution not uses UTF-8 as general encoding for roff man pages you
must convert this files to other encodings (i.e. using iconv tool) on
binary package install/build stage.

My current (short) TODO list for next version:
- su: finish GNU su compliant options (still is missing handle -c option),
- finish rewrite all tools for use getopt_long(),
- merge useable man pages translation framework using xml2po tool (this
   is very close for merge in current tree).

Big thanks for help on work on this version for Debian people (especial
thanks to Nicolas François :)

BTW: Happy New Year .. 2006 :)

shadow-4.0.13 -> shadow-4.0.14                                03-01-2006

*** general:
- fixes in handling login.defs: $MAIL_FILE is used in userdel and usermod,
   $MD5_CRYPT_ENAB is used by crypt_make_salt, which is used by chpasswd,
   gpasswd and newusers.
   Both variables moved to PAM not dependent (447_missing_login.defs_variables
   Debian patch),
- chage: fix chage display when the last change field is set to 0.
   This is consistent with PAM (merge 427_chage_expiry_0 Debian patch),

- userdel: make the -f option force the removal of the user's group (even if it
   is the primary group of another user)
   (merge 453_userdel_-f_removes_group Debian patch),
- usermod: rewrited for use getopt_long() (Christian Perrier <[email protected]>),
- grpck: fixed segmentation fault on using -s when /etc/gshadow is empty (fix by

   (based on patches from Debian submited by
