Yes, that's what I meant :) I'm modifying libshadow at the moment to deal with the BSD-style setup - the most important thing seems to be pwio.c, which is fairly short. The main problem is that passwd itself has defined pw_lock, with entertaining consequences :( Fixing it shouldn't be too difficult, and once pwio is modified/added to things should just work (tm) :) -- Matthew Garrett | [EMAIL PROTECTED]
