This is a final call for testing on the new login and passwd packages from the shadow source. The 19990827-0.3 version is available at: http://www.debian.org/~bcollins/shadow You will need the latest libpam 0.69-3, which is currently in Incoming on master and is scheduled to be dinstall'd tomorrow. Major changes from the last test version include lots of minor quirks in the new source and it's interaction with PAM. Also a load of documentation in the /etc/pam.d/ files for each service as to doing the old shadow things The PAM Way(tm). It also includes some postinst checks to make sure the admin knows what is changing _only_ if they have used an obsoleted conffile that is no longer used (since PAM now does it) and how to go about reconfiguring for that functionality. I have also made the passwd package not compile with PAM support on Hurd since libpam is not even ported yet and is very untested (at the request of Marcus Brinkman). The login package is not built for Hurd. PLEASE test this thoroughly. I have had not real complaints thus far, and if I hear none after dinstall runs tomorrow, I will upload this as version 19990827-1 and it will be installed on Monday's dinstall run. Ben
