Is /sbin/unix_chkpwd really used and what is it used for? I haven't find anything about it in pam documentation. Is it really necessary to ship /usr/bin/gpasswd and /usr/bin/newgrp? Does anybody really use them on Linux? Maybe these should be extras ... (maybe they are needed by POSIX or something similar). What...
