Hi Lucas,

I'm sorry, but THIS is mirroring taking a bit too far for its own good! 

Whoever maintains that site should remove this PKG at once.

That PKG has been retired YEARS ago for a very good reason. Do NOT install it 
on a BlueQuartz, because it is no longer compatible and will have ill side 
effects. That's why I removed it from the Solarspeed site in first place.

The default Secure Password functionality is built into BlueOnyx by default 
and it's also in the SVN code of BlueQuartz that hasn't been released in RPM 
form yet.

If you want to Secure Password functionality in your BlueQuartz, then - 
instead of using that horribly outdated PKG - use the method outlined here:

http://www.solarspeed.net/otrs/public.pl?Action=PublicFAQ&CategoryID=3&ItemID=38

That will then allow you to use YUM to install the improvements listed on that 
page - including the secure password functionality.
