shadowconfig - toggle shadow passwords on and off
shadowconfig on | off
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.
