Well, Geoff Arnold (geoff@East.Sun.COM) was kind enough to send me
source for a "shadow-aware" version of the pcnfsd authentication
daemon.  It took a little bit of work (_very_ little if _I_ could do
it) to get it running.

I've returned a copy of the program as I compiled it to Geoff.
Basically I had to work around some include files I couldn't find,
minor difference in mknod/stat, and other minor things.  The changes
are #ifdef'd in (the code Geoff sent already looked for _some_ ISC 2.0
differences, do that was easy enough.)

I can now use my ISC 2.0.2 machine as an authentication server for
our PC-NFS machines.  Thanks, Geoff!
