adduser (3.118ubuntu1) disco; urgency=low
* Merge from Debian unstable. Remaining changes:
- AdduserCommon.pm, adduser, adduser.8, adduser.conf.5: Allow uppercase
letters in the names of system users. This is done by having a separate
NAME_REGEX_SYSTEM configuration setting which applies when --system is
specified. (Soren Hansen)
- Add support for encrypting home directories:
+ adduser: Add --encrypt-home option, which calls ecryptfs-setup-private
for the hard work.
+ doc/adduser.8: document the --encrypt-home option
+ debian/control: suggest ecryptfs-utils >= 67-1
+ deluser: remove all of /var/lib/ecryptfs/$user with --remove-home
- extrausers support for adduser.
