Sorry for the cross-post, but shadow is installed in all the projects (I'm not subscribed to hlfs). New version coming. One important point is that the templates (/etc/default/useradd, login.def, limits and login.access without PAM, /etc/pam.d/* with PAM) will be installed. So all book instructions will have to change.
