SHADOWCONFIG(8)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 hap‐
pens, 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/doc/passwd/README.debian.gz for a brief introduction to
shadow passwords and related features.
