Package: ssh Version: 1.2.14-1 If compiled on a system which has no /etc/shadow file, sshd doesn't support shadow passwords when using the password authentication. All the necessary code is already there (will work with both shadow and non-shadow passwords) - all that is needed is to hack the configure script a little so that it defines HAVE_ETC_SHADOW in config.h. (it should really check for getspnam() instead of /etc/shadow, like GNU su does)
(Alternatively, just do "touch /etc/shadow" before building the package.) Marek
