.TH SHADOWCONFIG 8 "19 Apr 1997" "Debian GNU/Linux"
|
|
.SH NAME
|
|
shadowconfig \- toggle shadow passwords on and off
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.B "shadowconfig"
|
|
.IR on " | " off
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.PP
|
|
|
|
\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.
|
|
.P
|
|
Read \fI/usr/share/doc/passwd/README.debian\fR for a brief introduction
|
|
to shadow passwords and related features.
|
|
.P
|
|
Note that turning shadow passwords off and on again will lose all password
|
|
aging information.
