 6:40 AM *   

The shadow-utils
project provides the tools that handle /etc/shadow,
/etc/passwd, and other related databases; in
general, it manages users and groups on many Linux systems. While most
software releases are notable for what is added, the recent shadow-utils�4.20.0
release is most noteworthy for what has been removed. Specifically,
several utilities and functionality related to periodic password
expiry, which were deprecated in the December 2025 4.19.0
release, have been removed as planned. It is still possible to manage
some aspects of password aging with shadow-utils, but organizations
that depend on such features should start planning for their complete
removal within a few years.
