SHADOW-INA-BOX INSTALLATION README
INTRODUCTION
-------------
This package is a collection of most of the popular utilities
available in sunsite.unc.edu, ftp.cert.org, ftp.x.org,
ftp.qualcomm.com, ftp.cac.washington.edu, and ftp.acs.com to provide
shadow passwords for your Linux system as of June 13th, 1996.
Previously, in order to have shadow passwords on your Linux box you
had to install and tweek:
1) shadow-960129.tar.gz
2) wu-ftpd-2.4-fixed.tar.gz
3) sudo-1.2-shadow.tgz
4) xlockmore-3.9.tar.gz
5) xdm.tar.gz
6) qpop2.2.tar.Z for pop mail with shadow passwords
7) imap-4.BETA.tar.Z for Pine E-mail pop
NOTE: We leave you to modify your own inetd.conf to include
imap2 service. This line is adequate:
imap2 stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/in.imapd
8) pcnfsd.linux.tgz
9) bwnfsd.tar.gz
10) adduser.shadow-pl ( optional )
INSTALLATION
-------------
This package puts all these utilities together for easy install.
a) get shadow-ina-box-1.0.tgz from sunsite.unc.edu or some mirror.
b) do a tar zxvf shadow-ina-box-1.0.tgz
c) cd shadow-ina-box-1.0
d) verify the checksums for the packages using md5 and comparing to
the CHECKSUMS file.
e) take a look at 'Install' script, 'modify.c' source code, and ./extras/
directory.
f) run 'Install >& install.log &'
g) wait for a long time. Maybe go out and eat while you're waiting. :)
h) verify the changes, check 'install.log', and you're done! :)
