This is certainly the way things *should* be done, and I've managed to
locate a getspname() in libsec.a, but the ISC 2.0.2 documentation in NO WAY
documents the use of the shadow file password system.  The AT&T Release
notes *mentions* the fact that the encrypted passwords have been moved to
the shadow file for security reasons, but that's all I've been able to find
on the subject...

	I have no idea how the library call(s) might be used to access the
shadow file.  

sigh....
