     Hi --
     
     I am working on a daemon program that will require the login of a user
     with their user id and password. I looked at the getpwnam functions
     and tried to do some testing. Unfortunately this function does not
     support the use of shadowing, or C2 security on the DEC machines so it
     does not return the appropriate value.
     
     Are there any other programs or functions that I could use so I could
     verify the login and password of the user on a DU 3.2g system with
     enhanced security?
     
     Thanks!
     Jon
