- file within the unpacked shadow password suite's source tree. There's one
- thing to keep in mind if you decide to use shadow support: programs that
- need to verify passwords (for example xdm, ftp daemons, pop3 daemons) need
- to be 'shadow-compliant', that is they need to be able to work with
- shadowed passwords.</para>
