I have no idea. I've never messed with anything other than 4.0.15. LFS SVN uses 4.0.17, so it must be fairly stable. > Another thought is to install shadow-4.0.15 over 4.0.18.1, would this > work or would I have to do a 'make uninstall' on version 4.0.18.1 first? Well, again, I can't help you on "for sure" basis, but I think you'd probably be alright. I use a package management system, and since I can remember, when I install the Shadow package in BLFS (after Linux-PAM), there are no new binaries so that tells me it does a clean overwrite from the LFS installation (without Linux-PAM). > Would there also be any any potential problems with using either of > these methods? None really that I can think of. Except perhaps the possibility that you could totally lock yourself out of the system - forever.
