Release shadow 4.0.10 is sheduled to monday 18-06-2005.

As usual last week before release is only for critical bugs and update/new
translations.
I'll also try merge some 4xx Debian patches which will not add/modify i18n 
resources (all other will be for commit after 4.0.11).

Just after release 4.0.10 my first plan was release 4.0.11 in end of july 
but seem amount of new chenges is good for release this faster.

Current list of changes:

shadow-4.0.10 -> shadow-4.0.11                                          18-06-2005

*** general:
- useradd: rewrited for use getopt_long(),
- newgrp: add fix for handle splitted NIS groups: extends the functionality that,
  if the requested group is given, all groups of the same GID are tested for
  membership of the requesting user.
  (fix by Christian Mudra <C.Mudra@science-computing.de>)
- fix nscd_flush_cache(): for some reason doing the INVALIDATE call with two
  write()'s fails. Do one writev() call instead.
  http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=80413
  (submited by Martin Schlemmer <azarah@gentoo.org>)
- merge nscd-socket-path patch from Fedora: newer glibc's have a different nscd socket
  location (/var/run/nscd/socket instead /var/run/.nscd_socket),
- S/Key support is back,
- usermod: added -a option. This flag can only be used in conjunction with the -G
  option. It cause usermod to append user to the current supplementary group list.
  (patch by Peter Vrabec <pvrabec@redhat.com>)
- chage: added missing \n in error messages,
- useradd, groupadd: change -O option to -K and document it in man page,
- su, sulogin, login: fixed erroneous warning messages when used with PAM about some
  login.defs variables (fix by DJ Lucas <dj@linuxfromscratch.org>),
- autoconf:
-- stop with error message if crypt() not found,
-- remove --with{,out}-libcrypt switch,
-- move all autoheader templates from acconfig.h to configure.in,
- login: setup limits and umask (using login.defs ULIMITS and UMASK variables) only when
  PAM support is disabled (it is task for pam_limits and pam_umask modules),
- sulogin, login: use SYSLOG macro instead syslog() which saves the locale, sets the
  locale to C, sends the message and restores the locale
  (fix by Nicolas François <nicolas.francois@centraliens.net>).
*** documentation:
- login(8): better explain the respective roles of login, init and getty with regards
  to the utmp file (based on 441_manpages-shadow.5 Debian patch),
- shadowconfig(8): removed (will be maintained in Debian shadow pkg repository),
- groupadd(8): document -o option,
- in SEE ALLSO section in groupadd(8), groupdel(8), groupmod(8), userdel(8), usermod(8)
  added refer to gpasswd(8) (suggested by Mike Frysinger <vapier@gentoo.org>).

-----------------------------------------

Probably it will be good find new translators for bs, he, id and sq 
(maintainers or new co-maintainers). Of cource all new ntranslations will 
be welcome.

Big thanks for all reports and patches.
