Fellow System Admins,

I wrote a simple utility for SGI and Solari machines to query a user for a
username and password and it validates the entry against the shadow password
file. To accomplish this, I used the getspnam and crypt routines. Is there
an analogous set of routines for Tru64 5.1A UNIX or a similar utility that I
can employ?
