I need to run a kerberos *server* to satisfy my terminal server
so I can do per user passwords on the terminal server.  I have
already looked at the kerberos thing on sunsite.  It doesnt
include the server.  I grabbed the krb5 sources off
athena-dist.mit.edu and they ALMOST complile right but I'm not
a big programmer and I can't get them to compile all the way.

Can any of you offer any help?

I just recently installed the shadow password package and it seems to be
working correctly except for ftp access.  It appears that ftpd is using
/etc/passwd instead of /etc/shadow.  Is this a known problem or did I
install the package wrong.  I'm new to Linux and system administration.
I've looked at the man pages and they don't mention ftp.  There also
doesn't seem to be a HOWTO or other documentation for the shadow package.
I would appreciate any tips or pointers.  If I need to provide more
information, let me know what to provide.  Thanks.

Later,
  Tim

I also had this problem recently--as far as I know, the only way to make
it work is to hack the ftpd source.  At least, that's what I did.  I just
grabbed source for ftpd-diku, and put a small hack in ftpd.c.  It works
great, but I'm not really sure if it would work with anonymous ftp; it was
a quick hack and I didn't look at the rest of the source too carefully.
Anyway, it is possible, if you make a call to the shadow routine (sorry,
forget the name) for the password, and stick that into the structure that
stores the info that already came from /etc/passwd.

The default NetKit-B-xxx.bin.tar.gz does *NOT* do shadow, so:

You need to grab the non-binary version (source) of NetKit-B-xxxx.tar.gz
setup the Makefile to do shadow (I think it does by default), and then
recompile NetKit-B (in partitcular ftpd).  You then need to install this
new ftpd.  That's it.

I did exactly as you said and it worked great.  Thank you.
