R: Re:Authenticating encrypted passwords

Be aware!!!

The file /etc/shadow is readable only by root for security reasons... Don't do that change, you should use another passwd file created with htpasswd for the ncsa_auth!

Bye bye

  I had made some test about it,and i found that ncsa_auth program can recognize the /etc/shadow(however,/etc/passwd is not encrypted,it is centainly not be read by auth program.) Please notice that your should change your /etc/shadow's mode(chmod 444 /etc/shadow),then it can be read by your users.
