- In the shadowed password file suite, there is a define for AUTOSHADOW which
- claims to provide compatibility to privileged applications which don't know
- about shadowed /etc/passwd files. Xlock and ftpd appear to be two of these;
- they both authenticate logins with passwords.
-
- How does one go about making apps such as those above work correctly?
