- You can use the John F. Haugh Shadow Login Package, which I highly
- recommend. It requires some minor 'tweaking' to work with the 3b1,
- which I have done (problems with utmp/wtmp, etc). I had brought
- this issue up previously to the group, but unfortunately there
- wasn't any interest, so I have no plans of updating here, either.
- If you need help with it, I may be able to spare some time.
