Not necessarily a good idea either, I think. Why not adding exim user to
the shadow group (I believe you have a shadow group and have the permissions
for /etc/shadow set correctly, ie: -rw-r----- user: root group: shadow).
Still - this is not the way, I believe. I'd rather use PAM to do the
authentication.
