\fBshadowconfig on\fR will turn shadow passwords on; \fBshadowconfig off\fR
|
|
|
|
|
will turn shadow passwords off. \fBshadowconfig\fR 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.

aging information.
