pwconv

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

NAME

       pwconv - convert to shadow account

SYNOPSIS

       pwconv [-P path]

DESCRIPTION

       pwconv  installs  and updates /etc/shadow with information from /etc/passwd. It relies on the special password 'x' in the password field of
       the account. This value indicates that the password for the user is already in /etc/shadow and should not be modified.

       If /etc/shadow does not exist, pwconv creates this file, moves the user password to it and creates default aging informations with the help
       of  the	values	of PASS_MIN_DAYS, PASS_MAX_DAYS and PASS_WARN_AGE from /etc/login.defs. The password field in /etc/passwd is replaced with
       the special character 'x'.

       If the /etc/shadow does exist, entries that are in the /etc/passwd file and not in the /etc/shadow file are added to the /etc/shadow  file.
       Accounts,  which  only  exist  in /etc/passwd, are added to /etc/shadow. Entries that are in /etc/shadow and not in /etc/passwd are removed
       from /etc/shadow. All passwords from /etc/passwd are moved to /etc/shadow and replaced with the special character 'x'.

       pwconv can be used for initial conversion and for updates later.

OPTIONS

       -P, --path path
	      The passwd and shadow files are located below the specified directory  path.  pwconv  will  use  this  files,  not  /etc/passwd  and
	      /etc/shadow.

FILES

       passwd - user account information
       shadow - shadow user account information
