This document aims to describe how to obtain, install and configure the Linux
password Shadow Suite. It also discusses obtaining, and (re)installing other software and network daemons that require access to user
passwords. This other software is not actually part of the Shadow Suite, but
these programs will break as soon as shadow is installed. This document
also contains a programming example for adding shadow support. Answers to some of the more frequently asked questions will be included in an appendix in a future revision.
