shadow (1:4.13+dfsg1-2) unstable; urgency=medium The previous entry falsely states that PREVENT_NO_AUTH in /etc/login.defs affects authentication. The historical default of letting all users with empty password field in without authentication is still in effect. -- Balint Reczey <balint@balintreczey.hu> Mon, 25 Sep 2023 17:04:09 +0200 shadow (1:4.11.1+dfsg1-0exp1) experimental; urgency=medium Login now prevents an empty password field to be interpreted as "no authentication required" for UID 0 (root account). The historical default of letting all users with empty password field in without authentication can be restored in /etc/login.defs setting PREVENT_NO_AUTH to "no". -- Balint Reczey <balint@balintreczey.hu> Sun, 07 Nov 2021 21:51:46 +0100
