Name
shadowconfig - turn shadow passwords on
Synopsis
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.
