Re: shadow for debian
# Ricardo Kleemann wrote about "shadow for debian" on 10/02/96: > Does debian have a shadow package which would simplify installation of > shadow? Or do I have to install it manually? There is a Debian shadow package available at the Shadow suite FTP site (ftp://serek.arch.pwr.wroc.pl/pub/shadow/) which comes in 3 separate .deb files covering the 3 aspects of the shadow system (login, passwd, and su). The package is currently at Version 960810-1 and its maintainer is Michael Meskes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- I've been using it for a little while and it works just fine. I recompiled mine from scratch, but it's nice to have the basic debian package as a start. This is the first version that's a complete drop-in replacement for the base login & passwd stuff.. it even converts your existing password file over automatically. It's also safe to use these new shadow tools on an unshadowed system (i.e. they will use /etc/passwd if a user isn't found in /etc/shadow). Implements nicely with Debian, but I'd still advise anyone to read the shadow suite docs if they are going to use it (even if it's in a nice easy-install package). take care, kevin -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] (personal priority mail address) http://www.paranoia.com/";> got nothing better to do?

misplaced ldso and libc5 in rex
Pardon and ignore this message if it's out of place, but these files have
been misplaced for a little while and I haven't seen any talk about it on
the debian lists, so I just want to make sure that the archive maintainer
is aware of it before 1.2 development grinds to a halt. Some new Incoming
packages are misplaced in rex source directories:

how updated is 0.93R6?
This is probably a very obvious question, but it isn't answered in the FAQ and other things I've read on www.debian.org, and I want to be sure. Has the 0.93R6 stable available on ftp.debian.org been continually updated since it's release? Most things wouldn't change without issuing a new version number, but debian's has remained the same. Obviously, there have been a lot of updates and security issues resolved since its release last October. I'd rather install a stable version than the beta 1.1 due to the important nature of the machine that I'll be installing on, but I might give the beta 1.1 a try just to get newer versions of things if everything in 0.93R6 is over 6 months old now. Please reply directly as I'm not a regular follower (yet) of this list. thanks, kevin -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] (personal priority mail address) http://www.paranoia.com/";> got nothing better to do?
