shadow (1:4.1.5-1) unstable; urgency=low


  * The "Charolais" release.

  [ Nicolas FRANCOIS (Nekral) ]
  * New upstream release:
    - su: Fix possible tty hijacking by dropping the controlling terminal when
      executing a command (CVE-2005-4890). Closes: #628843
    - userdel: Check the existence of the user's mail spool before trying to
      remove it. If it does not exist, a warning is issued, but no failure.
      Closes: #617295
    - userdel: Do not remove a group with the same name as the user
      (usergroup) if this group isn't the user's primary group.
      Closes: #584868
    - su: Close the PAM session as root (fix issues with pam_mount and
      pam_systemd). Closes: #580434
    - Fix several typos in manpages. Thanks to Simon Brandmair.
      Closes: #628776
    - userdel error message has been clarified when the user is still
      executing processes (it used to complain that the user is logged in).
      Closes: #603315
    - passwd(1) references chpasswd(8). Closes: #609117
    - Spaces have been added between options and arguments in the Russian
      manpages. Closes: #606159
    - Fix handling of numerical dates in usermod -e. Closes: #621810
    - usermod: When the shadow file exists but there are no shadow entries, an
      entry is created if the password is changed and passwd requires a shadow
      entry, or if aging features are used (-e or -f). Closes: 632461
    - Added diagnosis for lock failures. Closes: #616167
    - grpck/pwck: NIS entries were dropped by -s (sort). Closes: #622765
    - login does not log into utmp(x) and wtmp. This is already done by
      pam_lastlog. Closes: #605329
    - groupmod: document that /etc/passwd can be modified by groupmod -g.
      Closes: #647308
