My passwd files are now nicely encrypted. However, xdm (in the X11 release for bsd) will not recoginize a password typed in. If I remove the "*" in /etc/passwd, xdm will accept a null password. Obviously it knows nothing about the new bsd pseudo shadow files. Tried recompiling xdm, but no go. Also, if I rlogin into the bsd machine, it always asks for a passwd even if there is a .rhosts and a mention in /etc/hosts.equiv. I re-compiled rlogind, but again no go. Obviously there must be a library I need to re-compile so these programs recoginize the new form. Any ideas? -- I am created Shiva the Destroyer; Death, the shatterer of worlds! Who is this dog meat who stands before me now? That's the biz, sweetheart. Randy Suess randy@chinet.chi.il.us
