Subject: Re: mac os x 10.2
i read that shadow passwords were added in 10.3, though. this could be
why there aren't any shadow libs. but no pam libs? not sure...
the AUTH_PASSWD suggestion allows popa3d to compile. it is validating
passwords in stand-alone mode and, once inetd.conf was changed and
inetd restarted, it validates via telnet.
sweet.
thanks for the help!
