Recommended update for shadow
Announcement ID: | SUSE-RU-2017:1472-1 |
Rating: | low |
References: | #1003978 #1031643 |
Affected Products: |
An update that has two recommended fixes can now be installed.
Description:
This update for shadow fixes the following issues:
- Dynamically added users via pam_group are not listed in groups databases
but are still valid. (bsc#1031643)
- useradd(8) and groupadd(8) performance issue when using SSSD. Previously
the entire possible UID/GID was iterated to find an available UID/GID.
This could take long time
over a network device. Instead, find available UID/GID locally, and then
check only those values over network. (bsc#1003978)
