<sect2><title>Configuring Shadow Password Suite</title>
|
|
|
|
<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 doc/HOWTO
|
|
file within the unpacked shadow password suite's source tree. There's one
|
|
thing to keep in mind if you decide to use shadow support: that
|
|
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>
|
|
|
|
<para>To enable shadowed passwords, run the following command:</para>
|
|
|
|
<para><screen><userinput>/usr/sbin/pwconv</userinput></screen></para>
