3.83. shadow-utils
Updated shadow-utils packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.
The shadow-utils packages include programs for converting UNIX password files to the shadow password format, as well as utilities for managing user and group accounts.
Bug Fix
- BZ#985475
- Due to the previously added support for the split groups, the newgrp command searched all groups on the system for a given GID. This behavior could cause high network traffic on systems pulling user and group information from a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) server. The underlying source code has been modified, so that this exhaustive search is not performed if the user is a member of a group whose name is specified with newgrp.
Users of shadow-utils are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this bug.
