shadow/cracklib/PAM update - timezone bug

[Auke Kok]

Dear all,

many people have found their timezone to be set wrongly with the latest 
ISO's. This is a problem with 'shadow' and needs a manual adjustment as 
well as fixes from moonbase.

I took this opportunity to rewrite Linux-PAM, shadow and cracklib to 
live entirely (cital components) outside the /usr tree (which may not be 
available during troubleshooting as /usr is often on separate 
partitions.). All of these fixes require you to:

* install a new moonbase after 17:00 GMT today (half an hour *after* 
sending this email)
* remove /etc/login/defs
* recompile cracklib, Linux-PAM and shadow (preferably in this order!)

Please let us know if you have any troubles with this procedure. Good luck.
