Using the SunOS 4.0 shadow password file

[Ole Holm Nielsen]

Since the topic of the SunOS 4.0 shadow password file crops up frequently
these days (e.g., v9n140), I would like to pass on a manual procedure for
installing passwd.adjunct and group.adjunct "shadow" files.  The procedure
was developed by Jason Heirtzler of Boston University, and I added a
comment or two (I hope that's OK with you, Jason).  Also, William LeFebvre
contributed.  Here it is:

This is really nit-picky, but I was curious why all the other make rules
got away without the quotes.  Turns out that the syntax error is really in
the c2secure rule.  The "make" like of that rule should read:

  make 'NOPUSH=$(NOPUSH)' passwd.adjunct.time group.adjunct.time;\

What's missing is the single quotes around the NOPUSH=...

Final note: The /bin/lockscreen does not verify passwords correctly when
using the C2 security option.  You have to order a fixed binary from Sun.
