- Version: 1.3
- Entered-date: 1995-07-11
- Description: John F. Haugh II's Shadow 3.3.1 is a well-ported login and user account maintenance package which prevents users from seeing the encrypted passwords, discourages the use of guessable passwords, and supports long passwords, a second password for dialups, and database operations for rapid response when there are many user accounts. The present package adds self-configuration and a clean Linux compile. Default is to compile for Cracklib and ndbm (gdbm) iff they are found installed, and for <= 16-character passwords.
