password issue with qingy


Hi all,

I've installed qingy (Slacware10 kernel-2.4.26)... everything went fine except that when I run qingy: it always reject me for a wrong password
I've also tried to create a new user account (foo) with no password... But still the same result
So I wonder if someone has had a similar problem and how can I solve it...
Note that I can login with no problem with kdm, agetty...

Thanks
Oliv'

Problem solved
So the issue was due to shadow library... In fact libshadow was missing (so need to reinstall it)... But it still wouldn't work
So I have to enter in the source code after adding few debug lines I realized that libshadow wasn't used: the code between #ifdef SHADOW_PASSWD and #endif was never executed. So I modified my config.h by adding the following line:
Code:
#define SHADOW_PASSWD 1
I recompile... and it works
