The debian-private mailing list leak, part 1. Volunteers have complained about Blackmail. Lynchings. Character assassination. Defamation. Cyberbullying. Volunteers who gave many years of their lives are picked out at random for cruel social experiments. The former DPL's girlfriend Molly de Blanc is given volunteers to experiment on for her crazy talks. These volunteers never consented to be used like lab rats. We don't either. debian-private can no longer be a safe space for the cabal. Let these monsters have nowhere to hide. Volunteers are not disposable. We stand with the victims.

Right; xbase 3.2-* don't *know* anything about shadow config, they
merely provide an xdm and an xdm-shadow and run xdm by default.  (This
is partially because there is *no* documentation in any of the debian
policy or programmers guides as to what the rules for shadow are...)
However, since it turns out that the X11R6 and later xdm-shadows work
with non-shadowed passwd files, the fix in 3.3-1 will be to make both
names point to xdm-shadow.

ps. 3.3 builds have started -- everything I sent upstream seems to
have gotten in, too, which is *way* cool -- interesting problem,
though: with xfree86-3.3.orig/ prepended, it has paths over 100
characters, so dpkg-source bites it :-(  Since tar+patch do the right
thing, I hope noone minds me uploading it that way anyhow (I have
already filed the bug report on dpkg-source.)
