Yes. I think the way it works is that you only get the real pw_passwd field if you are root - otherwise you get a "*" there if that particular user has a shadowed password. "*" will not match any encrypted password, it's too short, and it won't match a null password. I think all I have to do is merge the code into the ELF libc and it will work for all of the shared library applications. If we have static-linked applications they will have to be relinked.
