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
"beta" 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 ... :-)
- 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 - passwd already does;
  patches for login and su are welcome!)
- 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
- 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.)
- add support for passwd/shadow db files (glibc)
- better documentation
- su -l, -m, -p, -s options (as in GNU su)
- vipw: check password files for errors after editing
- clean up login utmp(x) handling code
- add "maximum time users allowed to stay logged in" limit option to logoutd
- "make" infinite loop on some systems? (Slackware 3.1, possibly others)
- handle quotes in /etc/environment like the shell does (but sshd doesn't...)
- smbd grows uncontrollably (samba-1.19.7p4, glibc-2.0.5c), memory leak?
- change version numbering to avoid the year 2000 problem :)
- write man pages: dialups.5, d_passwd.5
- better utmpx support (logoutd, ...)
- better OPIE support (check access file, prompt for one-time password
  with echo on, report number of logins left, etc.)
