+
+WITH_SELINUX
+ - review all tools to check that the strategies are consistent
+
+chage, chfn, chsh: same change needed as in passwd.
+ - probably need moving check_selinux_access to a separate file.
+
+testsuite
+ - newgrp
+ - test with unknown user's GID
+
+newusers
+ - add logging to SYSLOG & AUDIT
+ - use CREATE_HOME
+ - Add a -Z option (see useradd / usermod)
+
+Document when/where option appeared, document whether an option is standard
+or not.
+
+Check all the expiry semantics
+
+ALL:
+- move base passwd/shadow/group/gshadow operation to module for allow write
+ different backend modules for db, NIS, LDAP and others. Default backend it
+ will be goot if will be chosen depending on /etc/nsswitch.conf and allow
+ override this by -r <repository> options (where the <repository> can be
+ file, db, nis nisplus, ldap .. like on /etc/nsswitch.conf in service column).
+ passwd have old piece of code with handling -r option and it will be good
+ finish this and propagate on other shadow tools for allow operate on other
+ user databases by well known tools.
+- Protect against signals. Register do_cleanups in a signal handler.
+
+- login.defs
+ - generate depending on configuration
+
+- useradd:
+ - add handle create user mail spool in maildir format.
+ - Add support for -k in -D mode
+ - Add support for -K in -D mode
+ - Add option to create or not the mail spool (and set the default in -D
+ mode)
+ - Change -l to reset the entry if an entry was already there
+ - set the mask in mkdir?
+
+- userdel:
+ - add backup option for the removal of user resources,
+ - user_busy: check that the user is not running any processes.
+ - missing "deleting group" FAILED
+ - home dir removed, but userdel may fail and may leave the user
+ => warning needed
+
+- usermod
+ - add an option equivalent to useradd's -l (only when uid is changed)
+ - the mode of new home directories should be set according to the
+ original mode. Does copy_tree does this?
+ - user renamed, order is not kept in /etc/group (see
+ 47_usermod-l_no_shadow_file). This is a problem when the first user is
+ considered as the admin.
+ - see mail "user ID change" on April, 15
+ + fix call to chown (combination of -m and -u/-g)
+ + add tests
+
+- passwd:
+ - check combination of options (e.g. -u/-l)
+ - when -u refuse to unlock because it would create an empty password, it
+ should not display "Password changed."
+ exit instead?
+
+- newgrp: check the USE_PAM section.
+
+- pwck
+ - Add check to move passwd passwords to shadow if there is a shadow
+ entry (with a password).
+ - Add check to move passwd passwords to shadow if there is a shadow
+ file.
+ - Support an alternative /etc/tcb directory as second parameter.
+ - add options -g / -G to specify alternative group / gshadow files
+
+- su
+ - add a login.defs configuration parameter to add variables to keep in
+ the environment with "su -l" (TERM/TERMCOLOR/...)
+
+- vipw
+ - set ACLs and XATTRs on the temporary file (and backups?)
+ - vipw + selinux -> use lib/selinux.c
