Hi
Seeking feedback from anyone who is knowledgable about Shadow Group Support.
Oh, Greg, did you really have to bring this up? :)
The reason I ask - the latest shadow-4.0.11.1 has revamped the autoconfigury
to allow `--{dis,en}able-shadowgrp'.
That's also why I haven't upgraded shadow in a while. I saw your
battles with various broken versions from the DIY-Linux mailing list, so
decided to steer clear until it looked as if things had settled down.
FWIW, if upstream believe it shouldn't be on by default, then we should
follow their recommendation and drop the optional 'grpconv' command from
the book. I have no idea how common shadowed groups are out in the wild
though.
Cheers,
Matt.
