[BRLTTY] Off topic: upgrade shadow

[高生旺]

No. It'snot about brltty.
shadow (shadow password suite)
This set of login related programs utilizes an alternate, non-readable
file to contain the actual encrypted passwords.  This is presumed to 
increase system security by increasing the difficulty with which 
system crackers obtain encrypted passwords.  It was written by 
Julianne Frances Haugh and the Linux port is maintained by Tomasz
Kloczko.
This package provides 'login', which is needed to log into the system.
