+<para>This package contains utilities to modify users' passwords, add
|
|

+or delete users and groups, and the like. We're not going to explain what

|
|
+'password shadowing' means. A full explanation can be found in the
|
|
|
+<filename>doc/HOWTO</filename>
|
|
|
+file within the unpacked Shadow source tree. There's one
|
|
|
+thing to keep in mind if you decide to use Shadow support: programs that
|
|
|
+need to verify passwords (for example xdm, ftp daemons, pop3 daemons) need
|
|
|
+to be 'shadow-compliant', that is they need to be able to work with
|
|
|
+shadowed passwords.</para>

|

|
