|
<para>This package contains the utilities to modify user's passwords, add new
|
|
users/groups, delete users/groups and more. We're not going to explain
|
|
what 'password shadowing' means. All about that can be read in the doc/HOWTO
|
|
file within the unpacked shadow password suite's source tree. There's one
|
|
thing you should keep in mind, if you decide to use shadow support, that
|
|
programs that need to verify passwords (examples are xdm, ftp daemons,
|
|
pop3 daemons, etc) need to be 'shadow-compliant', eg. they need to
|
|
be able to work with shadow'ed passwords.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>To enable shadow'ed passwords, run the following command:</para>
|
|
|
|
<para><screen><userinput>/usr/sbin/pwconv</userinput></screen></para>
