[Tiger-devel] [PATCH] Move the login specific shadow check to a system specific password check.

[Ryan Bradetich]

Hello all,

This patch removes the shadow password check from the
check_passwrdformat module and put it in the Linux specific password
checks.  

This change is necessary for a couple of reasons:
        - The check does not depend upon Tiger_Check_PASSWD_SHADOW flag.
        - Not all systems impliment shadow passwords by putting an
'x' in the password field nor is the check necessary on all systems. 
(i.e. HP-UX uses a '*' and completely ignores the contents of the passwd
field when in trusted mode).


I am not sure which other systems need this check moved into the system
specific checks... I can submit the untested patches if someone will let
me know which ones I broke :(

Thanks,

- Ryan
