1) I would recommend getting the latest release version of shadow (3.3.2), which
came out a while ago, and has S/Key built in. Instead of using S/Key, I use opie
myself, which is made by the navy, supports MD5, And it seemed to compile and
work better than bellcore's (the real one). It's available at ftp.nrl.navy.mil in
directory /pub/security/opie. Minor modifications are needed to pwauth.c to
make it compile. (If anyone cares, i can include a diff....)
