      * The "Bleu de Gex" release.
      * New upstream unreleased version:

        - Updated Czech translation. Closes: #548407
        - Updated Vietnamese translation. Closes: #548065

        - Added support for dates already specified as a number of days since
          Epoch in useradd, usermod and chage. Closes: #562221
        - This also allows, in the chage interactive mode, to specify -1 as the
          expiration date to disable it. Closes: #573018
        - Fixed parsing of gshadow. This fix password support in newgrp.
          Closes: #569899
        - pwck and grpck stop sorting at the first line which begins with a '+'.
          This will avoid messing up with NIS entries. Closes: #567836
        - Fix interruption of su, newgrp, vipw with Ctrl-Z. Closes: 530231
        - mail checking is no more mentioned in login(1) since it is done by PAM.
          Closes: #470059
        - The -e (and -c and -m) option was restored in chpasswd (which still uses
          PAM by default).  Closes: #539354
        - Kazakh translation updated. Closes: #586994
        - Fixed comma splice in chsh(1). Closes: #582166
      * debian/securetty.kfreebsd: On GNU/kFreeBSD the serial devices have change
        from /dev/cuuaX to /dev/ttydX in kernel 6.0. Closes: #544523
      * debian/securetty.linux: Added support for embedded ARM AMBA PL011 ports
        (e.g. emulated by QEMU). Closes: #544184
      * debian/control: Removed Martin Quinson from the Uploaders, on his request.
      * debian/login.defs: Improve documentation of USERGROUPS_ENAB.
        Closes: #572687
      * debian/rules: Added DEB_AUTO_UPDATE_LIBTOOL = pre. Closes: #560633
      * debian/login.pam: return back to mostly "requisite" for the pam_securetty
        PAM module, but ignore PAM_USER_UNKNOWN. This will avoid root from
        entering a password, and will also avoid user enumeration attacks.
        Mis-typed root login are not protected, only root can be blamed for
        mis-typing and entering a password on an insecure line. Users willing to
        protect against mis-typed root login can use "requisite", but will be
        vulnerable to user enumeration attacks on insecure lines, and should use
        pam 1.1.0-4 at least. Closes: #574082, #531341
      * debian/passwd.cron.daily: Handle the backups of the user and group
        databases so that it can be removed from the standard daily cron job.
        Closes: #554170
      * debian/login.defs: Updated description of UMASK (used by pam_umask).
      * debian/securetty.linux: Reorganize and synchronize with
        Documentation/devices.txt. This added a lot of TTYs, including the
        ttyPZ0..3. Closes: #576203
      * debian/rules, debian/man.insert, debian/man.insert.sed: Hack to avoid bug
        507673, causing missing apostrophes in the manpages generated by
        docbook-xsl (see debian bug 507673).
      * debian/control: Standards-Version: bumped to 3.8.4. No changes.
      * debian/passwd.lintian-overrides: Remove old entries relevant for
        passwd.config.
      * debian/control: Do not repeat the Section and Priority fields for the
        binary packages.
      * debian/rules: Disable new features: --without-acl --without-attr
        --without-tcb

  • shadow (1:4.1.4.2-1ubuntu3) maverick; urgency=low
    
      * add ttyO0-3 to debian/securetty.linux, if OMAP kernels are built with
        TI's DMA-offloaded driver instead of the default 8250 one the serial tty's
        are called like that (LP: #512845).
