Hi, I just started modifying Debian packages to work with shadow passwords. The packages (i386 binaries, modified sources, and diffs from original Debian packages) are available from:
ftp://ftp.ists.pwr.wroc.pl/pub/linux/shadow/debian/ The whole /pub/linux/shadow directory is also available from at least the following mirror sites: ftp://iguana.hut.fi/pub/linux/shadow/ ftp://ftp.cin.net/usr/ggallag/shadow/ ftp://ftp.icm.edu.pl/pub/Linux/shadow/ Currently, the following packages (in ELF format, based on sources from the unstable tree) are available: ppp-2.2.0e-3-shadow.deb samba-1.9.15p4-1-shadow.deb screen-3.6.2-11-shadow.deb sudo-1.3.1pl4-1-shadow.deb vlock-0.8-2-shadow.deb wu-ftpd-2.4-20-shadow.deb xlockmore-3.6-1-shadow.deb xtrlock-2.0-2-shadow.deb (-shadow added to file names only to avoid confusion with the standard packages) These packages are supposed to work with both shadow and non-shadow passwords, so please test them as much as you can, even if you are not using shadow passwords. I haven't tested the modified pppd - I don't use it. I have tested all other packages listed above. Some of them (vlock, xlockmore, xtrlock) have to be installed setuid root to work with shadow passwords - I reviewed the source and sometimes cleaned it up a bit, so it should be safe (insert standard disclaimers here). A few things are still missing - the modified netstd package should be available soon. I can't seem to be able to find source for the xbase package (need to recompile xdm). It's not on ftp.debian.org, at least not in the obvious place (/debian/unstable/source/x11) - why? sulogin from sysvinit-2.59-2 already works fine with shadow passwords. If there are any other packages which need to be modified, please let me know. Thanks! Marek
