This is a major reason why RPMs are such a good idea. For the
source-expert among us, it's easy to do this, but the first time I tried
compiling Netatalk from source with secure passwords, it took me two
weeks, and only after Sandor wrote that up!
(http://lindy.stanford.edu/~ssklar/netatalk-setup.html
) And then that process only works on Redhat 6.0 -- 6.1 breaks it. What a
nightmare!
So many of us are asking the same questions over and over again. "Which
do I use? -37b or -39?" "How do I enable encrypted passwords?" "How do I
make it use shadow passwords?" "Do I need codepage support?" "What is
codepage support?" "How do I make this co-exist with Samba?" "Where can I
find rm, mv, and cp scripts which handle .AppleDouble files?"
Enough! Let's get this documentation project going!
Off-topic: JeffB, a feature request for 2.0: Make randnum and rand2num
optionally read shadow passwords. *sigh*
