Changelog
adduser (3.121ubuntu1) kinetic; urgency=medium
* Merge from Debian unstable. Remaining changes:
- AdduserCommon.pm, adduser, adduser.8, adduser.conf.5: Allow uppercase
letters in the names of system users. This is done by having a separate
NAME_REGEX_SYSTEM configuration setting which applies when --system is
specified. (Soren Hansen)
- Add support for encrypting home directories:
+ adduser: Add --encrypt-home option, which calls ecryptfs-setup-private
for the hard work.
+ doc/adduser.8: document the --encrypt-home option
+ debian/control: suggest ecryptfs-utils >= 67-1
+ deluser: remove all of /var/lib/ecryptfs/$user with --remove-home
- extrausers support for adduser and gpasswd.
- Add support for ZFS home directories (LP: #1873263)
- Enable private home directories by default (LP: #48734)
+ Set DIR_MODE=0750 in the default adduser.conf
+ Change the description and default value to select private home
directories by default in debconf template
+ Change the DIR_MODE when private home directories is configured via
debconf from 0751 to 0750 to ensure files are truly private

Binary packages built by this source
- adduser: add and remove users and groups
This package includes the 'adduser' and 'deluser' commands for creating
and removing users.
.
- 'adduser' creates new users and groups and adds existing users to
existing groups;
- 'deluser' removes users and groups and removes users from a given
group.
.
Adding users with 'adduser' is much easier than adding them manually.
'Adduser' will choose UID and GID values that conform to Debian policy,
create a home directory, copy skeletal user configuration, and
automate setting initial values for the user's password, real name
and so on.
.
'Deluser' can back up and remove users' home directories
and mail spool or all the files they own on the system.
.
A custom script can be executed after each of the commands.
.
'Adduser' and 'Deluser' are intended to be used by the local
administrator in lieu of the tools from the 'useradd' suite, and
they provide support for easy use from Debian package maintainer
scripts, functioning as kind of a policy layer to make those scripts
easier and more stable to write and maintain.
