Subject: shadow passwords

I am trying to locate a current set of packages that would
upgrade a 1.1.7 system to use shadow passwords.

Could anyone point out where I might find the required
packages?

Also what is the Debian standpoint on shadow passwords?

The shadow packages are in project/experimental. Most packages in rex are
already shadow aware.

Will be included in 1.2.
