Description monnier+lists/redhat/bugs 1999-04-30 18:32:46 EDT 
pwdb_chkpwd doesn't need to be setuid root as far as I can
see.  setgid `shadow' should be sufficient, just like
utempter is only setgid `utmp'.
Comment 1 Chris Evans 1999-05-08 08:46:59 EDT 
Good point, I agree completely :-)
Comment 2 Cristian Gafton 1999-07-30 11:57:59 EDT 
Not all sites implement setgid shadow scheme.
