Manual: shadowconfig

shadowconfig(8)					   System Manager's Manual				     shadowconfig(8)

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.
