HI,
I've made a big progress in size reduction there,
with help and hints from Vladimir N. Oleynik, Bernard Fischer
and Mike Frysinger,
but i'm not ready yet and this is 1.2 stuff.
BTW, the patch will be very big and needs
good testing and review by the list members
for the sake of security.
So when I'm done with it i will post a patch against
svn and a copy of passwd.c as drop in replacement
to make code auditing easier.
Size reduction at the moment is:
text data bss dec hex filename
3166 0 160 3326 cfe passwd.o.orig
text data bss dec hex filename
2279 8 256 2543 9ef passwd.o
But it needs a little more cleanup.
Ciao,
Tito
