Use PAM authentication, assuming you're on a suitable platform, for example: * de.* read,post,auth=user/pass;pam > I couldn't figure out how to get login checking going at all. Try PAM.. That works with shadow and various strange auth schemes, while keeping relatively secure. Unless you're giving nntpcache root access or equivalent to read the shadow file, it's not going to cut the mustard.
