Openwall tcb Suite 1.1

Posted Jul 17, 2011

Site openwall.com

The tcb suite implements the alternative password shadowing scheme on Openwall GNU/*/Linux (Owl) which allows many core system utilities (passwd(1) being the primary example) to operate with little privilege. It is being made available separately from Owl primarily for use by other distributions. This package contains three core components of the tcb suite: pam_tcb (a PAM module which supersedes pam_unix), libnss_tcb (the accompanying NSS module), and libtcb (a library for accessing tcb shadow files, used by the PAM and NSS modules as well as by user management tools on Owl).

Changes: The default hash encoding prefix has been changed from "$2a$" to "$2y$" (which requires crypt_blowfish 1.2 or newer).
