Have you followed the directions in the README?  I don't know if it's
in there or not (I'm using 3.10 at the moment), but I'm pretty sure that
NetBSD requires that you define HAS_SHADOW when you compile so that it
knows to use the shadow passwd file and not the passwd file (which doesn't
actually contain the encrypted passwords so it can't be used for
authentication).

I hope this helps.

Later.
