An updated shadow-utils package that fixes a bug and adds an enhancement is
now available.
The shadow-utils package includes the necessary programs for converting
UNIX® password files to the shadow password format, as well as tools for
managing user and group accounts.
An infinite loop when running the "grpconv" or "grpunconv" commands, caused
by duplicate entries in "/etc/group" or "/etc/gshadow", has been resolved.
As well, support for the SHA-256 and SHA-512 password hashes has been added
to glibc. As such, shadow-utils has been updated to allow users to use
SHA-256 and SHA-512 password hashes to generate more secure passwords.
Users of shadow-utils are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which
resolves this issue and adds this enhancement.
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.
This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use
