I see from the archives that there was a bit of traffic on npasswd in July as it was recommended for enforcing good passwords. I've followed the detailed instructions for building npasswd at http://www.cert.org/security-improvement/implementations/i028.05.html and survive the make depend but not the make. I've tried a LOT of different combinations of the questions asked in the configure script but I'm not a programmer so am truly guessing when they're asking about "int" and "void" and such. Anyone have any hints on running the configure script for FreeBSD 4.2? I've also tried running Configure using the default switch, but no better luck. Thanks.

I think I must be answering something wrong in the configure script; it's asking for some pretty specific stuff about my programming environment.
