- Some programs will not work with shadow password on HP-UX because
- HP forgot rpc.pwdauthd :-( e.g. xlock, vue (yes, in old vue-version
- you can lock the screen but never unlock, in new versions you cannot
- lock the screen). The response center told us there's no fix for
- that problem so we dropped our plan to use shadow passwords.
