patch looks ok for systems with spwd. i think we need something like this,
but it should ideally work for all or most systems we support. in the case
of hp-ux for example, it has spwd and pr_passwd, but spwd can't currently
be used, and i don't think it should be. SCO or other systems that use
secureware-based trusted systems may have similar issues. there's also
passwd_adjunct and systems that have pw_change and probably other
mechanisms. what changes might be in openssh native, and what are in
portable only?
