Regression fixes usermod(8):
* Revert an incorrect commit. See #1509 and #1510.
- Update to 4.19.1:
Regression fixes in chpasswd(8):
* Don't reject leading '!' in password hashes or a hash consisting
of "*". These were accidentally rejected in 4.19.0.
See #1483 and #1486.
* Don't reject a passwordless account ("" or "!").
See #1483 (comment) and #1505.

Breaking changes:
* Remove support for escaped newlines in configuration files.
It never worked correctly.
b0a7ce5 (2025-12-05; "lib/, po/: Remove fgetsx() and fputsx()")
* Some user names and group names are too dangerous and are rejected,
even with --badname.
25aea74 (2025-12-25; "lib/chkname.c, src/: Strictly disallow really bad names")
Future breaking changes:
* SHA512 and SHA256 will be supported unconditionally in the next
release. The build-time flag '--with-sha-crypt' will be removed.
See #1452.
Support:
* Several years ago, there were talks about deprecating su(1) and
login(1), back when this project was maintained as part of Debian.
However, nothing was clearly stated, and there were doubts about the
status of these programs. Let's clarify them now.
* Our implementations of su(1) and login(1) are fully supported, and we
don't have any plans to remove them. They are NOT deprecated.
See #464.
Deprecations:
* groupmems(8)
The program will be removed in a future release.
See #1343.
* logoutd(8)
The program will be removed in the next release.
See #999,
and #1344.
* DES
This hashing algorithm has been deprecated for a long time,

After repeated similar requests to change the ID ranges we set the
above mentioned value to 201. The max value will stay at 499.
This range should be sufficient and will give us leeway for the
future.
It's not straightforward to find out which static UIDs/GIDs are
used in all packages.

- Update to 4.17.0 RC1:
Pre-release without changelog
OBS-URL: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/Base:System/shadow?expand=0&rev=184
* The shadow implementations of id(1) and groups(1) are deprecated
in favor of the GNU coreutils and binutils versions.
They will be removed in 4.17.0.
* The rlogind implementation has been removed.
* The libsubid major version has been bumped, since it now requires
specification of the module's free() implementation.

offset in some cases (bsc#1176006)
+ Fix parsing of dates in get_date() (bsc#1176006)

On Tumbleweed we have glibc 2.38 already thus string functions
like strlcpy will be present and won't be needed from libbsd.
`readpassphrase()` is then the only function from libbsd not present.
Upstream shadow has an in tree copy of it, that is used when the
`--without-libbsd` flag is passed along.
By relying on glibc 2.38 we don't need to add libbsd and libmd
to our ring0 but can't easily upgrade on SLE.
