-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)
