Hmm.  "getspnam" is a system function to look up an entry in shadowed 
password files.

I don't really know what this portends:  I hope you are taking into 
account when you do ./configure that you might need to force PAM vs.
no-PAM or shadowed vs. not-shadowed.  (I don't know current UnixWare 
configurations, and so don't know what you're working with.  But, for
example, if you're trying to compile for shadowed-password support, but
you don't have shadowed passwords on your system, that might account for
it.)

If you keep on not having any luck, look for a SCO-specific newsgroup
or mailing list, and ask if anyone's had the same problem.
