Hi all.  I compiled up a X11R5 raw version of xlock from the X contrib
directory at one of the X mirror sites here.  The problem is that it compiled
up pretty well fine, but it won't recognize my password.  Now could this be
anything to do with crypt() I added to the standard C library ?  Or can't
it handle the shadow password entries (surely that would be built in to 
the system calls.)

Does anyone have a working version ?

Thanks
Tim.
