Bug#4338: sshd should support shadow passwords
Package: ssh
Version: 1.2.14-1
If compiled on a system which has no /etc/shadow file, sshd
doesn't support shadow passwords when using the password
authentication. All the necessary code is already there (will
work with both shadow and non-shadow passwords) - all that is
needed is to hack the configure script a little so that it
defines HAVE_ETC_SHADOW in config.h. (it should really check
for getspnam() instead of /etc/shadow, like GNU su does)
(Alternatively, just do "touch /etc/shadow" before building
the package.)
