With respect to copyrights it is covered by the GNU Public License. +Version 1.17 (7-Oct-95): + Added setrlimit() calls to passwd.c and chsh.c to fix security hole + caused by resource limitations. Inspired by Zefram + <A.Main@dcs.warwick.ac.uk>. Also beefed up the ptmp locking in + chsh.c. + Added swap_off() function to shutdown.c by baekgrd@ibm.net + (Anders Baekgaard). + Bugfix in shutdown.c that makes sure wtmp gets closed. By + Alexandre Julliard <julliard@sunsite.unc.edu>. + Fixed bug in passwd.c that made it impossible to change from having + no password into having one. + +Version 1.16 (18-Sep-95): + Added feature to passwd.c by Arpad Magossanyi (mag@tas.vein.hu), + so root can give a password for a user on the command line. This + might be useful in a shell script autogenerating passwords for + new users. + + Added and updated manual pages for all commands by Rick Faith. + +Version 1.15d (21-Aug-95): + Fixed minor nit with salt generation in passwd.c + By Steven Reisman <sar@beehive.mn.org>. + +Version 1.15c (5-Jul-95): + passwd does not allow reuse of the old password when changing. + passwd returns 1 if the password is not changed. This was + suggested by Anibal Jodorcovsky <anibal@ee.mcgill.ca> who + also fixed my initial bug in this feature. + + passwd uses O_EXCL for opening /etc/ptmp instead of access/fopen. + This was suggested by jorge@un1.satlink.com (Jorge). + +Version 1.15a (12-Jun-95): + Fix in last.c so it does not print wtmp entries marked DEAD_PROCESS. + By Andreas Schwab <schwab@issan.informatik.uni-dortmund.de> + +Version 1.15 (5-Jun-95): + Man-page fixes, fixes in pathnames.h to adhere to the FSSTND. + Fix by Rickard Faith <faith@cs.unc.edu> to passwd.c, so sanity + checks come before the second entry of the new password. + This is for Linux 1.2, GCC 2.6.2 or later. + +Version 1.14a (12-Mar-95): + Fixed passwd and chsh so a username that is a prefix of another + doesn't affect the other's password. After suggested patch + by Valtteri J. Karu <vatekaru@tuug.utu.fi>, but differently! + Version 1.14 (12-Feb-95): Added options -l, -y, -i to last.c. See last.man |
