SHADOWCONFIG(G)                                   SHADOWCONFIG(G)



NAME
       shadowconfig - toggle shadow passwords on and off

SYNOPSIS
       shadowconfig on | off

DESCRIPTION
       shadowconfig  on will turn shadow passwords on; shadowcon-
       fig off will turn shadow passwords off.  shadowconfig 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.

       Read /usr/share/doc/passwd/README.debian.gz  for  a  brief
       introduction to shadow passwords and related features.

       Note  that  turning  shadow password off and on again will
       lose all password aging information.
