It shouldn't be necessary, in an ideal world. > One of the statements is that libshadow is internal use only and > should not be used by third party developers.... Uh, right. If they want nothing but "login" to read shadow passwords, then that's fine. If FreeRADIUS is going to use shadow passwords, then it needs SOME way to do this. How do they propose that the server read shadow passwords without linking against -lshadow? And why is -lshadow "internal"? Other OS's don't make it internal. Why is gentoo so magic? You can work around this in FreeRADIUS (maybe), by using rlm_passwd, but that defeats the point of using getpwent() Alan DeKok. - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe?
