That's the exact answer I've been looking for. Because it builds 
authldap, it doesn't build authshadow. This is perhaps something that 
could be made clearer in the documentation - because my system has 
OpenLDAP support, it is assumed LDAP will be used, although I in fact 
wanted Shadow, I had no indication that I needed to build it 
--without-authldap.

Thank you.
