I think there is a misunderstanding. I don't mean tcb, but the
difference between *BSD and linux struct passwd. *BSD struct passwd
contains pw_class, therefore, ABI is not compatible with struct passwd
on linux.

tcb contains one shadow record for each user, but the structure itself
is the same as in /etc/shadow.
