SHADOWCONFIG(8) 		  19 Apr 1997		       SHADOWCONFIG(8)



NAME
       shadowconfig - toggle shadow passwords on and off

SYNOPSIS
       shadowconfig on | off

DESCRIPTION
       shadowconfig on will turn shadow passwords on; shadowconfig 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 for a brief introduction to
       shadow passwords and related features.

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