This is not true. Shadow does support the supplemental list. The problem is
that it's ifdef'd NGROUPS and the includes used do not pick up the Linux
NGROUPS definition. I believe this was included in the patches I sent to the
original author and Ed shortly after Ed put the source on the Linux ftp
sites.
This may have changed with the 2.3.3 compiler. I'll check it...
