- <sect2><title>Configuring Shadow Password Suite</title>
- <para>This package contains the utilities to modify user's passwords, add new
- users/groups, delete users/groups and more. We're not going to explain
- what 'password shadowing' means. All about that can be read in the doc/HOWTO
- file within the unpacked shadow password suite's source tree. There's one
- thing you should keep in mind, if you decide to use shadow support, that
- programs that need to verify passwords (examples are xdm, ftp daemons,
- pop3 daemons, etc) need to be 'shadow-compliant', e.g. they need to
- be able to work with shadow'ed passwords.</para>
- <para>To enable shadow'ed passwords, run the following command:</para>
- <para><screen><userinput>/usr/sbin/pwconv</userinput></screen></para>
