Well, now that I dig deeper, it appears that I cheated and simply made the
binary setuid root.  This might be required, but I'm not positive.

If you add this line towards the top of the Imakefile before you run
xmkmf, it should define HAS_SHADOW (although I'm no longer sure that this
is the correct thing to do )-:

#define HasShadowPasswd

Another option is to install the package system and get the package
version of xlockmore.  I'm pretty sure that it should compile and work
just fine under NetBSD.

I hope this helps some.

Later.
