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 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)
