First sorry for the late, it were 2 weeks of tests in my university, so
i was busiest that never. Now that i'm on vacation from university, i do
have more free time.

Now, to the patch. For doing what you want, i'll have do do major
changes to the code. Because if using shadow, i declare a pointer to the
spwd struct, and if using getpwnam, i declare a pointer to the passwd
struct. To fail back, i'll have to do some big changes to the code. I'm
even thinking in using functions inside the code to do the auth. Want to
know if you agree with it or not.

My regards,
