compile-time option to not store passwords
Brought to you by:
podzap
For the sake of security, I don't like having the
password to the whole user database stored on disk.
This patch changes all that.
./configure
patch -p1 <directory-patch
vi src/Makefile
(I add -DDONT_STORE_PASSWORD to the DEFS)
I would clean it up a bit (like adding ./configure
-options...) but I'm not sure what direction you'd want
to take this patch (if you take it). It could be
compile-time, or it could be run-time. Let me know
what you think, and I can put some more work into it...
This patch also allows a user to define their own
shells... (primarily because I want it to default to
/bin/bash, regardless of what machine I'm using...)

Good work! I'm going to ask you to and remove the DEFINE and
simply put it in there, because I'm accepting this patch at
once, and I don't want to have it fixed by me.
I'm against DEFINEs =) Besides, the Makefile will be
obliterated on the next autoconf configure run.
Can you re-post the new patch in this same tracker item?
