Subject: SLS: xdm doesn't care about shadow-passwd? 
Date: Sun, 14 Mar 1993 05:13:36 GMT

Hi everybody,

I suppose the following has been already noticed. I'm aware of a possibility to
find it in some FAQ, despite of this I dare to ask:

        Has anyone prepared an xdm-binary that is completely working with the
        latest SLS? My version (0.99.6 SLS) doesn't care about the shadow-passwd
        as you can login e.g. as root with any password you can imagine like
        bar, foo, bla ... (exciting, isn't it ?). Does anyone have a fix other
        than copying the password back from shadow to passwd?

That's it! Any flames appreciated, I have a very hungry /dev/null!

Any help, positive comments or pointers to present solutions welcome!

        Thanks in advance,
                prefect
