<para><command>shadowconfig</command> on will turn shadow passwords on;
|
|
<emphasis remap='B'>shadowconfig off</emphasis> will turn shadow
|
|
passwords off. <command>shadowconfig</command> 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.
