A Linuxism that has been used by the author of the software:
$ find /usr/include -name shadow.h
/usr/include/shadow.h
$ uname -a
Linux foo 2.6.10 #1 Thu Dec 30 03:01:16 EET 2004 i686 GNU/Linux
$
User programs shouldn't depend on <shadow.h> but use the <pwd.h>
header instead and the getpwent() library function, whenever they need
to access user/password information.
