The current Shadow instructions are confusing when it comes to the
configuration errors when a reader logs in when told to by the warning
message.
I proposed a couple of situations in -dev about this, however, what
is probably best is to create a copy of login.defs and make the changes
to the existing file before having the reader log in to test PAM.

Modified the Shadow instructions:
1) create a backup of /etc/login.defs 2) modify /etc/login.defs before advising builders to test the new config 3) add a note to the warning to restore /etc/login.defs if needed
Leaving the bug open until Bruce merges the changes into the 6.1 branch (r4897)
