- I noticed that there is not very simple to have the classical Unix
- passwd field when using SLS. Indeed, if one installs shadow package
- he has shadow passwords (which I don't need), and if one doesn't
- install it no /etc/passwd file is created.
-
- Is it a general Linux choice, or it could be possible to split the
- package... Security does not mean too much on a one-user system :-)
