We are considering installing John Haugh's shadow password suite on our
Silicon Graphics systems because of all the grief we get from our users
about the proactive password program we installed.  We're looking for any
experiences you have had installing this package and whether it affected
other programs on your system (i.e. does getpwent(3) still work?).  
I'll post a summary if there is enough interest.

P.S. I wish vendors would hurry up and support shadow password files.
