Date: 27 Jun 1995 20:18:34 GMT Organization: Columbia University Center for Telecommunications Research Lines: 28 Message-ID: <3spp2q$6p@sol.ctr.columbia.edu> References: <aak2.804261606@Ra.MsState.Edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: startide.ctr.columbia.edu X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] Daring to challenge the will of the almighty Leviam00se, Atif Ahmad Khan (aak2@Ra.MsState.Edu) had the courage to say: : I downloaded shadow package and tried to compile it under BSD. : I couldn't. Is there a pre-compiled or pre-configured one that : I could get from somewhere ? : Thanks. : Atif Khan : aak2@ra.msstate.edu If by 'shadow' you mean 'shadowed passwords' (and I can't really say for sure since you were so wonderfully ambiguous), ask yourself whether you really want to go to all the trouble of installing a shadow password suite on a system that already supports and uses shadow passwords right out of the box. :) -Bill -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~T~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -Bill Paul (212) 854-6020 | System Manager Work: wpaul@ctr.columbia.edu | Center for Telecommunications Research Home: wpaul@skynet.ctr.columbia.edu | Columbia University, New York City ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Møøse Illuminati: ignore it and be confused, or join it and be confusing! ~~~~~~ "Welcome to All Things BSDish!
