Daring to challenge the will of the almighty Leviam00se, Atif Ahmad Khan
(aak2@Ra.MsState.Edu) had the courage to say:

: I downloaded shadow package and tried to compile it under BSD.
: I couldn't.  Is there a pre-compiled or pre-configured one that
: I could get from somewhere ?

: Thanks.

If by 'shadow' you mean 'shadowed passwords' (and I can't really say
for sure since you were so wonderfully ambiguous), ask yourself whether
you really want to go to all the trouble of installing a shadow password
suite on a system that already supports and uses shadow passwords right
out of the box. :)
