the patch in slock.c is indepedent of this group, it just checks if it can get the password-entry,
so it still runs on systems without shadow-group. It doesn't matter at all if you realize the access
with setuid root, setgid shadow or something else.

With the Makefile your object may is right. Maybe somebody finds a better solution here than mine

Kind Regards,
