+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 utmpx support (logoutd, ...)
+- 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)
