[cobalt-developers] Converting a 550 from pwdb to /etc/passwd

[Frostie Sprout <Frostie@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Has anyone tried to convert the pwdb password format of the 550 over to 
/etc/passwd & /etc/shadow?

Wanting to install Tac+ into the 550 and instead of altering Tac+ for pwdb 
access altering the 550 to use passwd and shadow files seems the quickest 
method for doing this.

From all I've seen so far, the pwdb access is controlled via PAM so just 
altering the PAM configuration should be it, unless there are some magic 
Cobalt files that access the pwdb files directly.

Anyone try this? Is there a known gotcha (like other programs besides PAM 
accessing the pwdb files) that would put the kibosh on this?

Or, alternatively, is there a method to get the 550 to update both 
locations (db & passwd) at once?
