Mar 5 16:15:30 parish Xwrapper: [dlerror: /usr/lib/libutil.so.3: Undefined symb
ol "freeaddrinfo"]

A message posted 25th Feb about the same problem got this reply:
Basically, PAM was built without a crypt library linked
in. When new is built with PAM support, it tries to access
crypt in PAM. Then, it blows up. Build without PAM, or
cvsup latest sources for the patch. It was mentioned in
the mailing lists I think back in December?
but I cvsup'd the source at 10:00 GMT yesterday (4th March).
The other option in the poster gave was to re-build the world withou PAM support, but that seems rather excessive.
Does anuyone know of any other solution?
Thanks.
