Followup-to: comp.os.linux.setup
Applied patch to lmain.c to fix the -froot login hole. This hole
caused some commotion a year ago, but none of the shadow sources and
diffs readily available on the Net seem to be fixed. Gary Anderson
(ganderson@clark.net) send me this patch which was posted by John
Haugh (who has now mislaid it) on 3 June 1994.

Title: Autoconf diffs for Shadow
Version: 1.3
Entered-date: 11 July 1995
Description: John F. Haugh II's Shadow 3.3.1 is a well-ported login and
user account maintenance package which prevents users from
seeing the encrypted passwords, discourages the use of
guessable passwords, and supports long passwords, a second
password for dialups, and database operations for rapid
response when there are many user accounts. The present
package adds self-configuration and a clean Linux compile.
Default is to compile for Cracklib and ndbm (gdbm) iff they
are found installed, and for <= 16-character passwords.
Keywords: shadow login su passwd password useradd pwconv mkpasswd
autoconf cracklib gdbm

Platforms: There is avoidable use of perl and cpio. Recommended
you have them. Use a recent GNU make. Autoconf is
not required. Not Linux-specific.
