Hello,

For folks missing some important utils for the shadow suite, I have built 
for RH 4.0/Intel an updated RPM:

ftp://sysadm.sorosis.ro/pub/shadow/shadow-utils-960810-2.i386.rpm
ftp://sysadm.sorosis.ro/pub/shadow/shadow-utils-960810-2.src.rpm

Over the standard package supplied by RedHat, this package includes also: 

-groupadd, groupmod, groupdel, grpck - group file manipulation programs

-gpasswd - command line to add/remove users from the groups (I hate as 
much as you editing /etc/group...)

- useradd, usermod, userdel - shadow standard user manipulation tools.

- chage - a program to work with password aging.

Other than that, this package is pretty much the same with the one 
supplied by RedHat. Please test it out if you want to, and report 
problems (if any) to me.

Best regards,

		Cristian Gafton
