Changelog
adduser (3.129ubuntu1) lunar; urgency=medium
* Merge from Debian unstable (LP: #1873519, #1977710). Remaining changes:
- Add support for encrypting home directories:
+ adduser: Add --encrypt-home option, which calls ecryptfs-setup-private
for the hard work.
+ doc/adduser.8: document the --encrypt-home option
+ debian/control: suggest ecryptfs-utils >= 67-1
+ deluser: remove all of /var/lib/ecryptfs/$user with --remove-home
- extrausers support for adduser and gpasswd (LP: #1323732)
- Add support for ZFS home directories (LP: #1873263)
- Enable private home directories by default (LP: #48734)
+ Set DIR_MODE=0750 and SYS_DIR_MODE=0750 in the default adduser.conf
* Rename NAME_REGEX_SYSTEM to SYS_NAME_REGEX
- AdduserCommon.pm, adduser.conf: Change default SYS_NAME_REGEX to allow
uppercase letters in the names of system users.
* Removed changes (superseded by Debian):
- AdduserCommon.pm, adduser, adduser.8, adduser.conf.5: Allow uppercase
letters in the names of system users. This is done by having a separate
NAME_REGEX_SYSTEM configuration setting which applies when --system is
specified.
