Summary: Shadow Password Support Module

Initial Comment:
Attached is the spwd module. This module provides 
support for Shadow Passwords on Solaris 2.8. This 
compliments the nis and pwd modules. This is the only 
way to gain access to the encrypted passwords when 
using shadow passwords on Solaris.

There doesn't seem to be much interest in this patch.  I
don't think it reaches a wide-enough audience, therefore,
I'm rejecting it.  If there is broader support (many people
are interested in seeing shadow password support in the
core), we can add it later.  I think it would be best to
provide this as a third-party module.
