-----------------
d88-jwn@nada.kth.se made me avare of a fault in passwd.c concerning digits
in passwords.
hyvatti@cc.helsinki.fi (Jaakko Hyvatti) provided a fix for a nasty bug in
login.c, concerning unknown usernames and secure terminals.
I forgot who made me avare of the fact that shutdown would hang if /etc/utmp
somehow was corrupted. This should not happen anymore.
As always, the packages contains only sourcecode. The binaries can be built
under Linux 0.97 or later with at least gcc-2.2.2
To those that do not already know, the poeigl package contains:
init, getty, login, hostname, mesg, users, who, write
and admutils contains:
