Shadow passwords under X...

["Curt Howland" <Howland@Priss.com>]

Hi. 

I've been wrestling with X, just like everyone else it would
seem. However, I've gotten it *almost* working. The trouble
now seems to be related to shadow passwords.

I have shadow passwords turned on, under Debian 1.3. However,
the X login started automatically at boot does not recognize
any of the valid userID/password combinations. 

My assumption is that X does not know about shadow passwords,
and from my investigations it seems I may be correct.

1) Is there a setting to make it work?

2) If !1, then how do I turn off the automatic X boot-up
   so I can startx after logging on?
