parameter is missing, or specified as above, then passwd behaves as normal
when the user enters an all lower case password -- i.e., it prompts them
to use mixed case, and will only grudgingly accept an all lower case
password.
If you negate this entry in login.conf, with "mixpasswordcase@", then
passwd will allow all lower case passwords without complaining.

happened as it was working around problems elsewhere (ie: binutils/ld
not doing the right thing according to the ELF design). libcrypt has
been adjusted to not need the runtime -lmd. It's still not quite right
(ld is supposed to work damnit) but at least it doesn't impact all the
users of libcrypt in Marcel's cross-build model.
"passwordtime" is what passwd(1) has actually been using. I suspect
passwordperiod was the original intent. I can't figure-out which,
if either, BSDi uses. If anyone knows...
It selects which hash format to use by checking /etc/auth.conf for
auth_default. Leaving auth_default disabled will give the current
behaviour (use the same format as is currently used in the password,
or if a new password default to what crypt likes best--des if it exists).
Now you can set it to one of: des, best, md5 or sha1. best is a synonym
for sha1, currently.
(I'm not sure why this happens, though I suspect it may be because
the server is configured with only passwd maps instead of both passwd
and master.passwd maps. This is allowed, but I think in this case
pw_class is left NULL, hence the problem.)
Also applied similar patch to chpass/pw_yp.c just for paranoia's sake.
on chpass & passwd and turn the links into individual files
with the schg flag set, make install will fail to install all
of the proper links.
Fixed by removing the schg flag on all of the links before installing.
Closes PR# 2040.

This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
heck. Watch through our hidden camera, ladies and gentlemen,
as this one-line addition to the syslog output generates hundreds
of thousands of lines of email in response, all from people
decrying the evils of electronic noise pollution! :-)
What this change does, simply speaking, is syslog it every time
someone changes their local password. I need this at a local ISP to
tell whether people are reacting to expires in a timely fashion or
not. To disable it, uncomment -DLOGGING in the Makefile.
If your users change their passwords so often as to fill your logfile,
then you may also have another administrative problem to deal with.
after I installed the last SNAP :). Because of the way the 'use NIS
or local?' logic is set up here, it was possible to force the use
of the NIS password changer even though the specified user didn't exist
in NIS (i.e. # passwd foo, where foo is a local-only user). In this
case, we fall intp yp_passwd() without the corresponding yp_password
structure being filled in, which leads to an NULL pointer dereference.
Also fixed the logic like I just did with chpass so that if the user
is both in NIS and the local password database, the program makes a
more sensible guess as to which one to use (if NIS is turned on in
/etc/master.passwd, then use NIS, else default to local).
RPC calls to rpc.yppasswdd, but when using the special superuser-only
AF_UNIX socket access method, the server will properly handle all the
additional fields, including pw_change.)
I would also like to take this opportunity to say that Sprint sucks.
