File vlock-2.2.3-use-unix2_chkpwd.diff of Package vlock

Subject: add the possibility to use external unix2_chkpwd program
         to authenticate
Author: Stefan Seyfried <seife+obs@b1-systems.com>

This adds the configure option "--enable-unix2_chkpwd" which uses external
/sbin/unix2_chkpwd from pam-modules package to authenticate the user.
The benefit is that vlock-main does not need sgid shadow to be able to read
the crypted password, because this all is handled by unix2_chkpwd
