There's a glitch in the display describing the "group" option in
usermgmt.conf. I can't get rid of the blank line above it without it
losing the line break after the colon as well. Anyone?
+ Use _PATH_GROUP and _PATH_MASTERPASSWD (from OpenBSD)
+ Use -G group1,group2,group3 for multiple groups in useradd and usermod
(pointed out by Matt Green, and also changed in OpenBSD, but done more
efficiently here)
+ is_number should not be inside #ifdef EXTENSIONS (from OpenBSD)
+ clear up yet another usage message (for user(8) and group(8)) - noticed
in passing, unknown if fixed anywhere else
- Move SEE ALSO section before the HISTORY section as described in
mdoc(7) with:
+ removing traing dot.
+ spliting files into FILES section.
- Refer pathnames using .Pa (rather .Ar or .Xr).
+ copy all files and directories in <skeldir> to new user's home
directory, not just if they begin with a '.'
+ use pax to copy files from <skeldir>, as this will allow <skeldir>
to contain directory trees as well as regular files
+ use -h arg to chown(1) in case any symlinks have been created in the
new user's home directory
+ getpwnam(3) does not set errno, so use errx(3) and warnx(3)
+ use nologin(8) in preference to false(1) when deleting users but
preserving information
+ in usage messages, specify [-r lowuid..highuid] rather than a simple
[-r range]
+ Moved all internal definitions from usermgmt.h to user.c
+ Added prototypes to usermgmt.h
+ Allow defaults to be set at build time
+ Check the effective uid is 0 if any data is to be modified
+ Check all numeric uids and gids really are numeric
+ Fix a bug (reported by lenb at sasquatch.com) where new ranges were
appended to old ranges, rather than replacing them
+ Add userinfo(8) and groupinfo(8) utilities (if EXTENSIONS is
defined), whereby user and group information can be displayed. Add
manual pages for new utilities. Add front-end calling from user(8)
and group(8) accordingly.
+ Make all functions visible outside the user.c file again. User and
group manipulation may be split out into a separate shared lib in the
future
+ Split off main function into a separate main.c
+ Changed default group to be "users"
+ Changed despatch table for commands to work in a more sane manner
+ Added "default-group" target to Makefile, so that the default group
can be made easily.
- put `usage' at the start of each message
- put a space between the option and arg in [-x foo]
* fix command parsing for when a two word command is invoked without
args or with an invalid second arg so that a more appropriate error
message is printed.
groupadd/groupmod/groupdel functionality, along with two front-end
utilities, user(8) and group(8).
Based on the addnerd package, but most of the interface has been
completely rewritten, and suggestions from simonb and mrg have been
incorporated.
