As a side note (after checking into this problem), I noticed that the
server code ONLY checks for "*LK*" in the password field to see if the
person is disabled.  Not sure of other places but we've had to modify the
code a bit so that instead of

    if ((strncmp(passwd,"*LK*", 4) == 0)

I'd recommend

    if ((strchr (passwd, '*') != (char *) NULL)
