SUSE Recommended Update: Recommended update for shadow
Announcement ID: SUSE-RU-2017:1472-1
Rating: low
References: #1003978 #1031643

    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)
