Shadowconfig
Hi there ... just installed frozen, and I love it. I've been cleaning up my log files, config files, and generally poking around ... so I tried to enable shadow passwords. Here's what occured: endor:/etc # shadowconfig on grep: xdm: No such file or directory sed: can't read xdm: No such file or directory Please correct the error and rerun `/usr/sbin/shadowconfig on' Ok ... why does xdm have to be present? This server is a production web server ... 99.9 percent of the work is done via telnet/ssh. Actually most of the connections are www, ftp, etc. I guess what I'm saying is *I* don't particularly care about X on this machine ... it's not supporting dedicated users. If I understood X better I'd probably use it and export to an xterm, but for now I want shadow passwords :) I looked at the script and figured I could comment out the lines pertaining to xdm ... but I need some opinions. Is this a bad idea?

Re: Shadowconfig
endor:/etc # shadowconfig on grep: xdm: No such file or directory sed: can't read xdm: No such file or directory Please correct the error and rerun `/usr/sbin/shadowconfig on' I believe the correct shadow config should have an if [ -f xdm ] ie... if [ -f xdm ]; then if ! grep -q 'xdm-shadow' xdm ; then sed -e 's:/usr/bin/X11/xdm:/usr/bin/X11/xdm-shadow:' xdm shadowxdm$$ mv shadowxdm$$ xdm chmod 755 xdm fi fi Let Guy know if this fixes it. Judging from the time it takes to respond to things, I get the impression he's very busy.

Re: Shadowconfig
I have to fix the NIS stuff in passwd. Then I'll release a new one with this fix also. Guy -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

This does indeed fix the problem. Thank you!
