xdm.taz - source for xdm with shadow support
ftpd.c.Z - replacement for ftpd.c in ftpd sources (net-src 0.2)
has shadow support.

the shadow documentation and/or source code for the*details.

The original xdm I had had some shadow support in there already. The
changes I made for shadow 3.2.2 are ifdef'ed linux just to be awkward!

The ftpd.c code has the shadow changes ifdef'ed SHADOWPWD just be
even more awkward!

To compile either of these you need the shadow 3.2.2 sources. Specifically
the pwauth.h file must be locatable as <shadow/pwauth.c>, you need to link
against the libshadow.a library and you also need to link in verify.o (which
I added to libshadow.a on my system).

The changes are more or less copied straight out of login.c. They seem
to work ok on my system but then I didn't set out to make an elegant
solution for the masses originally :-)

I should have spoke up sooner. The shadow password in SLS does not require
modifying source code to be used. Instead you just compile with -DSHADOW_PWD
and link -lshadow. An interface with getpw* is included. This will get a
password from /etc/shadow and overwrite the value in the pwd struct, only
if /etc/shadow has a password for the user. Else, it uses the /etc/passwd one.
If you like, you can get the source from the SLS s1 disk.

Sorry Mike.
