For shadow, I suggest that you continue with the same version as you used in your base (LFS) system, because reverting to a previous version is usually a bad idea.
However, I haven't built a fresh system since last December, I don't use PAM, and it's a *lot* longer (basically, LFS-6.6) since I built any ppc system [ that comment is based on you previous posting ], so YMMV - I'm still using ppc, but the (replaced last year) battery on my ibook no longer holds much charge, and my "built as cheaply as possible" late-model G5 uniprocessor runs warmly and slowly, so my view is that "mainstream" ppc is dieing. LFS, of course, hasn't really supported ppc since about LFS-3, but some of us have tried to keep it working - feel free to carry the "holy flame" ;-) 0_0 ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
