|
## Introduction
|
|
|
|
The shadow-utils package includes the necessary programs for
|
|
|
|
converting UNIX password files to the shadow password format, plus
|
|
|
|
programs for managing user and group accounts. The pwconv command
|
|
|
|
converts passwords to the shadow password format. The pwunconv command
|
|
|
|
unconverts shadow passwords and generates a passwd file (a standard
|
|
|
|
UNIX password file). The pwck command checks the integrity of password
|
|
|
|
and shadow files. The lastlog command prints out the last login times
|
|
|
|
for all users. The useradd, userdel, and usermod commands are used for
|
|
|
|
managing user accounts. The groupadd, groupdel, and groupmod commands
|
|
|
|
are used for managing group accounts.
