Great! One question, though: have packages like xdm & vlock been updated to
be able to handle shadow passwords, and has the relevant xmkmf config file
been updated to reflect the fact that shadow passwords are in use? Unless you
are the maintainer of those packages, the peeople in charge of them need to be
made aware of the modifications needed.... This is actually why I didn't just
use the shadow-* packages with the current Debian release -- no energy to
recompile a bunch of stuff :-)
