Subject: which packages need update for shadow?

I just scanned through the packages list to see which ones need to be
updated. Here's a list I found:

xdm		Stephen Early <[email-masked]>
xtrlock		Stephen Early <[email-masked]>
adduser		Steve Phillips <[email-masked]>

Also I'm not sure about the following:

netatalk	Klee Dienes <[email-masked]>
samba		Andrew Howell <[email-masked]>

Needs update, though not part of the official distribution:

ssh		Dominik Kubla <[email-masked]>

Needs update, but I don't know how:

imapd		Dale Scheetz <[email-masked]>

Are there more? I recommend the maintainers have a look at
ftp://ftp.icm.edu.pl//mnt/340/shadow/src for help.

Michael

There's a password check in imapd somewhere that has to be corrected to go
be shadow aware (at least that's what I was told). A simple getpwnam doesn't
have the password "x" in the structure.
