Checkpassword + Redhat 9.0 - Update

Here is a link to RPMs written for RedHat by Dag Weirs

http://dag.wieers.com/packages/checkpassword/

Thanks Dag for the RPMs

Thanks to Paul Jarc and the others on this list who have kindly taken their
time to help dummies like myself attempt to get Checkpassword compiled and
installed.  I finally gave up and used an RPM.

It is, just use the rpms; they are all patched the right way.  Slack
works because it probably uses the older glibc still.  Wait till you
upgrade to the new slack in the Fall (or whenever), and your problems
come back with a vengeance.
