This is my wishlist for the shadow suite, in no particular order.  Feel
free to do anything from this list and mail me the diffs :-).

Patches in diff -u format, against the latest version (sometimes in the
"dontuse" directory) are preferred and make my job easier.  Please, no
MIME, base64 or quoted-unreadable (aka QP).  For very big patches or if
your mailer can corrupt them, please use gzip and uuencode.  Thanks!

New ideas to add to this list are welcome, too.  --marekm

- fix all the bugs, of course
- implement "su only" accounts (no logins, only su from other account)
- locale support (date formats, message catalogs), any volunteers?
- rewrite getdef.c to be more general? (no hardcoded names)
- update man pages to reflect all the changes (real programmers ... :-)
- fix LOGIN_STRING (handle quotes, whitespace etc.), change the name to
  something less confusing
- patch for rlogind/telnetd to create utmp entry and fill in ut_addr
- fix the usermod -l bug properly [for now it's OK - #undef AUTH_METHODS]
- support Pluggable Authentication Modules [started]
- option to specify encrypted password in passwd (for yppasswdd, so it
  doesn't need to know about shadow/non-shadow); should probably use a pipe
  (less insecure than command line arguments)
- add support for changing NIS passwords
- clean up NDBM support, do it in the library and not in all programs
- date formats configurable in login.defs (not at compile time)
- add option to check passwords by piping them to external programs
- add functionality of the contrib/rpasswd.c wrapper to passwd
- rename getpass() to avoid conflict with libc?
- option to generate pronounceable passwords (like on SCO), external program?
- poppassd (remote password change for eudora etc.)
- configure should check if the libc crypt() supports md5 (glibc-1.96+)
- add support for db files (glibc)
- better documentation
- build breaks with newer version of automake, how to fix?
