Background: Running RedHat 4.0, with all fixes, installed from hd
partition. shadow passwords are enabled.
the problem is that i am currently attempting to compile ssh 1.2.17, and
the configuration script fails because it can find /etc/shadow and
shadow.h, but cannot find libshadow to link with.
i realize that this is probably a PAM related problem, as PAM handles the
shadow password functions.
has anybody ported ssh to use PAM? If not, are there any relatively simple
workaround to get ssh and shadow to work together on redhat 4.0? ssh
recognizes the shadow password configuration and such, therefore, would it
be possible to simply add libshadow.a from the normal shadow distribution?
i realize that would be kind of un-portable, but it really doesn't matter
for now.
so far, i like rh 4.0, installation was a breeze but i'm not one to
judge... (i've installed sunos4 by hand several times to avoid suninstall
and considered that to be easy...).
at this point i'm quite impressed with redhat, however, debian 1.2 also
looks like it's going to be quite nice. for me, the most important
'feature' that should be added to 4.1 would be a ssh that works with
shadow/pam.
Thanks,
