    I just tried with /etc/shadow and it worked :)
    The default RH9 ssh *also* take /etc/passwd into account.

    However, I really cannot do the same with debian stable. 'su anoncvs'
    also asks for a password, but local login (physical access with
    keyboard) do not. anoncvs SSH access refuses to work whatever I set
    in /etc/password and/or /etc/shadow.

    Thanks,
