It seems that the best solution would be to fix whatever depends on shadow to not do so any more. I take it from one of your previous messages that the issue is Trinity? In which case you might struggle to make things work (as upstream is basically dead). Maybe a different desktop environment might be the simplest solution ;-) (KDE is awesome these days!).
Best of luck,

Thanks Tom, It's kdm. The Trinity project is going fantastic these days. (http://git.trinitydesktop.org/cgit/). Dead? The source code is less than 10 minutes old :) I just have an old version of Trinity installed while the current version stabilizes and we update PKGBUILD sources to handle the git tree. (nothing like a move from svn to git to add more work) I'll work to get kdm fixed. It is apparent that shadow isn't the problem. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
