New util-linux packages are available for Red Hat Linux 7.1. These packages fix a problem where vipw would leave the /etc/shadow file world-readable after editing it. It is recommended that all users update to the fixed packages. Also, if you have used vipw on Red Hat Linux 7.1 before, make sure to run (as root): chmod 0400 /etc/shadow
