I will try again later. Please get it from ftp.ists.pwr.wroc.pl instead. Thanks. --marekm ] This is a new beta release of the Shadow Password Suite for Linux. Many bugs have been reported (and fixed!), and the package is now under a BSD-style copyright. It was written by John F. Haugh II , and the Linux port is now maintained by me. Again, this is beta software which may still have some bugs, please treat it as such. Please don't install it if you don't know what you're doing. Please test it as much as you can, and report any bugs - if you report them, they will be fixed! If all goes well, Shadow should be stable enough for general use within a few months. Once it is stable, Linux distributions can start using it - there are no copyright problems anymore. Thanks to Greg Gallagher there is now a developers mailing list, shadow-list@neptune.cin.net. Send the command "subscribe" to shadow-list-request@neptune.cin.net (NOT to the mailing list itself!) to subscribe if you are interested.
