  1. Can you add this stuff to our libc for 4.4.5?  It wont break anything
  2. and it will add compatibility with those people who use shadow passwords.
  3. I don't use shadow passwords myself but they have created a lot of problems
  4. in the Linux community which I want to resolve.  So I took just the key
  5. pieces out of the shadow suite and added them to libc.  This way,
  6. getpwnam works whether or not you have shadow passwords installed.
  7.  
  8. libc.diffs    diffs against libc-linux
  9. shadow.c    goes into libc/pwd/shadow.c
  10. gshadow.c    goes into libc/grp/shadow.c
  11. shadow.h    new shadow.h goes into usr/include/shadow.h
  12. pwd.h        new pwd.h goes into usr/include/pwd.h
