Topic
An updated shadow-utils package that fixes a bug is now available.
Description
The shadow-utils package includes programs for converting UNIX password files to
the shadow password format, as well as tools for managing user and group
accounts.
This updated shadow-utils package fixes the following bug:
- the /var/log/faillog file contains a list of numerical User IDs (UIDs) and
associates the following information with those UIDs: the count of login
failures since the last successful login; the maximum number of failures before
the account is disabled; the line the last login failure occurred on; the date
the last login failure occurred; and the amount of time the account is locked
for after a login failure, in seconds. Using the /usr/bin/faillog command's '-p'
option causes the utility to print the information in the log file to standard
output. Previously, the printed output was always sorted by numerical User ID,
even though the UID number was not included in the output. As a consequence of
this sort strategy, printing a faillog with a large number of entries took an
inordinately long time. With this update, the faillog program no longer sorts
the print output by numerical User ID before outputting it, with the result that
printing the faillog is much quicker. (BZ#577201)
All users of shadow-utils are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which
resolves this issue.
