[pubcookie-users] The Shadow Verifier

Joshua,

The permissions on the shadow file wouldn't log this messages.  FWIW, that
would log "flavor_basic: login failed for willey: unable to get entry from
/etc/shadow".

Your configure script flags look correct but somehow the message isn't
getting thru to build the shadow verifier.  ENABLE_SHADOW should be set in
src/config.h by the configure script.

What version of pubcookie are you using?  

Steve
