Yes, it was working.  In fact I have a working version installed, but
somebody broke the build - it's missing zoom.h and zoom.cpp in cvs now.

Oh, you're right.  kppp builds ok now - it'd been a while since I
tried it last.   I have compiled kuser before, but it didn't really
understand the FreeBSD passwd set up.  As I recall it wanted to change 
/etc/passwd rather than /etc/master.passwd and didn't rebuild the real 
db files pwd.db and spwd.db.  For FreeBSD it should also have an entry 
field for the login class for the user.  I've been meaning to dig in
and fix it for FreeBSD.  --without-shadow does fix the build though, thanks.

Right, I just didn't want William banging his head against the wall
trying to get these to compile out of the box.
