Changes for version 0.23 - 2016-10-07

  • [Experimental] Increase safety/compatibility with other programs that might write to the passwd files by locking all the passwd/shadow/group/gshadow files themselves instead of just passwd.lock file (see [GH#1]).
  • [Bugfix] Regression bug, when we switched to File::Flock::Retry, locking was accidentally always done for all actions including read-only ones [GH#1].

Modules

Manipulate /etc/{passwd,shadow,group,gshadow} entries
