Configuring the shadow password file
The /etc/shadow file contains the encrypted passwords
otherwise found in /etc/passwd. If your system does
not have the shadow file configured, you can create it with the
pwconv(ADM)
command. pwconv creates a new shadow file
and removes the encrypted passwords from /etc/passwd.
(When the /etc/shadow exists,
/etc/passwd contains
an ``x'' in the password field.)
Use
pwunconv(ADM)
to remove the shadow file (and incorporate passwords into
/etc/passwd).
