Package: hal
Version: 0.4.8-3
Severity: normal
Installation apparently relies on the chage command, which
refuses to work if there is no shadow file. I'm not using a
shadow file because, back in some forgotten past, I was
warned against mixing shadow passwords and NIS. I'd rather
not switch now, and I am (perhaps naively) thinking that HAL
should work in either configuration, shadow passwords or
not.
