doing shadow passwords right shouldn't be too hard. The important
trick is to make them totally transparent -- ie. getpwent returns the
passwd field if you can read the shadow file, or "*" (ie. a "bad"
value) if not [unless there is a "real" value in /etc/passwd, in which
case it should use that....]
Setting it is a little trickier, but not much -- there's just not that
much code that does it...
