NAME¶
shadowconfig - toggle shadow passwords on and off
SYNOPSIS¶
DESCRIPTION¶
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 for a brief introduction to
shadow passwords and related features.
Note that turning shadow passwords off and on again will lose all password aging
information.
