Fedora Project

  • Updated perl-IO-Socket-SSL to 1.36 in Rawhide:

  • Updated smbldap-tools to 0.9.6 in all releases, dropping dependencies on openldap-servers (default configuration does not require /usr/sbin/slappasswd - Bug #609056) and samba-common (default configuration does not require /usr/bin/smbpasswd):

    • New tool: smbldap-grouplist (list LDAP groups)

    • smbldap-useradd, smbldap-usershow, smbldap-usermod:

      • Change default encoding of givenName and sn to UTF-8 (bug #11717)

      • New option: -X (input/output encoding, defaults to UTF-8)

      • New option: -O (localMailAddress attribute)

      • Changed option: -M (now sets only mail attribute)

      • Home directory is now chown-ed as $userUidNumber:$userGidNumber to avoid race conditions (bug #11721)

      • Use gecos as displayName if givenName and userSN not provided (bug #14517)

    • smbldap-passwd:

      • New option: -p (allow root to set password from STDIN without verification, e.g. using a pipe) (bug #11964)

      • Change userPassword, shadowLastChange and shadowMax individually e.g. no shadow class or user may not have rights (bug #15052)

    • smbldap-groupmod: allow deletion of users from groups without a defined samba group SID)

    • Removed references to smbldap_conf.pm (which should be smbldap.conf)

    • Fixed -Z option in smbldap-useradd (custom LDAP attribute) (fixes Bug #590429)

    • Alphabetically reorganized options

    • Fixed several mis-spellings and typos in smbldap-useradd
