$Id$ 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)
