Bug ID: 2010528
Summary: Review Request: tcb - Implementation of the tcb
password shadowing scheme
Product: Fedora
Version: rawhide
Hardware: All
OS: Linux
Status: NEW
Component: Package Review
Severity: medium
Priority: medium
Assignee: nobody(a)fedoraproject.org
Reporter: besser82(a)fedoraproject.org
QA Contact: extras-qa(a)fedoraproject.org
CC: package-review(a)lists.fedoraproject.org
Target Milestone: ---
Classification: Fedora
Description:
The tcb package consists of three components: pam_tcb,
libnss_tcb, and libtcb. pam_tcb is a PAM module which
supersedes pam_unix and pam_pwdb. It also implements the
tcb password shadowing scheme (see tcb(5) for details).
The tcb scheme allows many core system utilities (passwd(1)
being the primary example) to operate with little privilege.
libnss_tcb is the accompanying NSS module. libtcb contains
code shared by the PAM and NSS modules and is also used by
programs from the shadow-utils package.

Additional information:
This package is intended as a base for (likely to happen) future
system-wide changes to Fedora. As the functionality, this package
provides, is will be needed for the system core, the (quite many
small) sub-packages have intentionally been crafted for needing as
few (pre-)dependencies each as possible in order to be installable
very early in the process of system-upgrades and/or kickstarts.
For that reason the main-library package ships no components
that require anything but glibc to be available, since otherwise
hard to resolve dependency cycles with unpredictable behaviour
will arise.
Thanks for review in advance!
