A problem I had while testing 1.3 pre-release may be related. I have some
nfs mounts as no_root_squash for mirroring and other purposes. I couldn't
access them properly from the test machine with shadow passwords enabled.
When I have time, I'm going to put a test partition on each machine and
see what happens when all use shadow, when all don't, and when only some
do. I guess shadowconfig on and shadowconfig off are supposed to let you
bounce back and forth.
