Probably the best way to avoid any problems with login, passwd and prwarn
is to install a replacement from public source code- then if you _DO_ find
a problem you can just patch the source, recompile, and have a much better
idea if the problem is fixed or, in the tradition of SUN, just moved to
some other part of the sequence so the 'cookbook' exploitation doesn't work.

Hugh's shadow login suite has some mention of options for the vagaries of
SCO, and should work on recent releases- perhaps SCO themselves should start
using it?
