[Clfs-support] passwd - shadow problem

[David Broadfoot (bigdissaved)]

I know that is not going to be much help, but I had the same problem. I 
do not know why, so I just unstalled shadow with out pam support, and I 
am using it as normal. Somon on thise lists should be able to give U a 
hand with figureing it out.....


I wosh I could be more help....
