| 5 | <para>This package contains utilities to modify users' passwords, add
|
|---|
| 6 | or delete users and groups, and the like. We're not going to explain what
|
|---|
| 7 | 'password shadowing' means. A full explanation can be found in the
|
|---|
| 8 | <filename>doc/HOWTO</filename>
|
|---|
| 9 | file within the unpacked Shadow source tree. There's one
|
|---|
| 10 | thing to keep in mind if you decide to use Shadow support: programs that
|
|---|
| 11 | need to verify passwords (for example xdm, ftp daemons, pop3 daemons) need
|
|---|
| 12 | to be 'shadow-compliant', that is they need to be able to work with
|
|---|
| 13 | shadowed passwords.</para>
|
|---|
| 14 |
|
|---|
| 15 | <para>To enable shadowed passwords, run the following command:</para>
|
|---|
| 16 |
|
|---|
| 17 | <screen><userinput>/usr/sbin/pwconv</userinput></screen>
|
|---|
| 18 |
|
|---|
| 19 | <para>And to enable shadowed group passwords, run the following
|
|---|
| 20 | command:</para>
|
|---|
| 21 |
|
|---|
| 22 | <screen><userinput>/usr/sbin/grpconv</userinput></screen>
|
|---|
| 23 |
|
|---|
| 24 | <para>Under normal circumstances, you won't have created any passwords yet.
|
|---|
| 25 | However, if returning to this section to enable shadowing, you should reset any
|
|---|
| 26 | current user passwords with the <userinput>passwd</userinput> command or any
|
|---|
| 27 | group passwords with the <userinput>gpasswd</userinput> command.</para>
