+ the command if it contains a space, as in:
+ su - root -c "ls -l /"
+ The following commands won't work anymore:
+ su - root -c ls -l /
+ su - root "ls -l /"
+ su - root ls -l /

+ * passwd does not support the -f, -s, and -g options anymore. You should use
+ the chfn, chsh and gpasswd utilities instead.
+ * login now distributes the nologin utility, which can be used as a shell
+ to politely refuse a login

+
+ CLOSE_SESSIONS and other variables are not used anymore in
+ /etc/login/defs.
+ As shadow utilities which use this file now warn about unknown
+ entries there, administrators should remove such unknown entries.
+ The supplied login.defs file does not include them anymore.
+
+ dpasswd is no more distributed by upstream. Login do not support
+ dialup password anymore. Re-introducing this functionality in
+ upstream is not trivial.
