Feature changed by: Thorsten Kukuk (kukuk) Feature #314473, revision 7 Title: Replace pwdutils with shadow utilities Requested by: Thorsten Kukuk (kukuk) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: The pwdutils are from a time where the shadow utilities did not had a maintainer and the patches every Linux distribution had were longer then the whole source code. Meanwhile the upstream project is active again and most patches where accepted. Thus we should switch to the shadow project to get all the advantages (for example acl,extended attributes,selinux support). Relations: - README.changes-pwdutils (url: https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file?file=README.changes-pwdutils&package=shadow&project=home% 3Akukuk) Discussion: #1: Andreas Jaeger (a_jaeger) (2012-09-26 15:20:07) I agree, let's do this. #2: Jan Engelhardt (jengelh) (2012-10-07 21:11:02) Also, the meaning of -m is reversed between pwdutils and shadow-utils. Switching to shadow-utils would certainly confuse lots of scripts and existing practices. pwdutils-useradd -mk /var/lib/empty shadow-utils-useradd -k /var/lib/empty + #3: Thorsten Kukuk (kukuk) (2012-10-10 10:19:34) (reply to #2) + Where is the meaning of -m reversed? According to the manual pages and + my testing, it is the same. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/314473
