on freebsd there is no /etc/shadow, it is /etc/master.passwd A man on getpwnam shows: These routines have been written to ``shadow'' the password file, e.g. allow only certain programs to have access to the encrypted password. If the process which calls them has an effective uid of 0, the encrypted password will be returned, otherwise, the password field of the returned structure will point to the string `*'.

I'm assuming you're referring to the shadow group? That wouldn't work on freebsd though,
Why not?
I tried setting group to wheel with no success.
So... add a group "shadow". chgrp shadow /etc/shadow. I don't see why that wouldn't work.
