Hi there,

I'm trying to compile/install PPP 2.3.3 in a SuSE 5.2 (kernel 2.0.33)
system and I'm facing a bitter problem. As you probably know, SuSE comes
with Shadow Passwords pre-installed (by default). Well, that's ok, but ...

When I try to compile PPP with the command:

        make HAS_SHADOW=1

, it complains about the non-existence of the file shadow/pwauth.h. Ok,
then I downloaded this file from the 'Net and PPP modules compiled fine.
But ...

When the process reaches the linkage phase, it says that the libshadow
library does not contain a definition for the 'isexpired' function.

Well, since I couldn't find a libshadow on the 'Net that solved my problem
(I've tried several sources from the 'Net), I have the following
questions:

- Where can I get a libshadow that would solve my problem ??
- In case the problem is not the libshadow, then what is it ??
- Where can I get the 'libshadowdev' package (the package name probably is
  not this one, but what I'm looking for is a package that includes the 
  header files used to compile applications that support Shadow password
  functions ... this package would probably include, for instance, the 
  file shadow/pwauth.h) ??

Thanks in advance for any help.

Regards,
Ivan Passos
