Hi folks, I built my very first LFS following the latest stable LFS-6.4 book. Correspondingly I installed Shadow-4.1.2.1 version.
Now I've started working with BLFS book and it contains instructions for re-installing (after PAM installation) only for Shadow-4.0.18.1 (the SVN book version as well). The instructions are obsolete for my version, and if I try to follow them I'm rightfully having an error about files libshadow.*a and libshadow.so missing. The BLFS book makes and "Important" note:"The installation shown below is for a situation where Linux-PAM has been installed (with or without a CrackLib installation) and Shadow is being reinstalled to support the Linux-PAM installation." The above sounds like the instructions are specific for RE-INSTALLATION process of Shadow. Therefore I'm a puzzled - can I reinstall my Shadow just using instructions from LFS book or not? And then, what about Shadow configuration instructions in BLFS book following re-installation? Are they still valid for my newer Shadow version or they are obsolete as well? Any input would be highly appreciated. Thank you. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
