Name

shadowconfig - turn shadow passwords on

Synopsis

shadowconfig

Description

shadowconfig on will turn shadow passwords on.

Errors

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 is harmless.

Caveats

Turning shadow passwords off using shadowconfig is not supported anymore.
