Blob Blame History Raw
2015-06-26  Miloslav Trmač  <mitr@redhat.com>

        * modules/files.c (open_and_copy_file): Replace and heavily modify  ...
        (lu_files_create_backup): ... this.
        (lock_file_handle_existing, lock_file_create, lock_file_remove)
        (struct editing, editing_open, replace_file_or_symlink)
        (editing_close): New functions.
        (generic_lookup, generic_is_locked, lu_files_enumerate)
        (lu_files_users_enumerate_by_group, lu_files_groups_enumerate_by_user)
        (lu_files_enumerate_full): Remove locking on read-only operations.
        (generic_add, generic_mod, generic_del, generic_lock)
        (generic_setpass): Use struct editing instead of dealing with locking,
        backups, SELinux individually.

        * lib/user_private.h (lu_util_lock_obtain, lu_util_lock_free): Mark
        as deprecated.

        * lib/util.c (lu_util_field_write): Fail on an incomplete write().

2015-06-25  Miloslav Trmač  <mitr@redhat.com>

        * modules/files.c (format_generic, generic_setpass): Refuse to write
        field values which contain \n.
        * tests/files_test.py (Tests.testUserAdd9, Tests.testUserMod8)
        (tests.testUserSetpass5, tests.testGroupAdd6, tests.testGroupMod7)
        (tests.testGroupSetpass4): New tests.
