SHADOWCONFIG(8)

Contents


NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

       shadowconfig - toggle shadow passwords on and off

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

       shadowconfig on | off

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       shadowconfig  on  will  turn shadow passwords on; shadowconfig off will
       turn shadow passwords off.  shadowconfig will print  an	error  message
       and  exit  with a nonzero code if it finds anything awry.  If that happens,
 you should correct the error and run it again.

       Turning shadow passwords on when they are already on, or off when  they
       are already off, is harmless.

       Read /usr/share/doc/passwd/README.debian.gz for a brief introduction to
       shadow passwords and related features.

       Note that turning shadow password off and on again will lose all  password
 aging information.
