Subject: How to set up the shadow passwd files?
Date: Fri, 29 May 1992 04:23:53 GMT

I have compiled and installed the tools in shadow.tar.Z from tsx-11.
These are the John Haugh password suite tools. The poster to the archive
didn't include his name or address in the package, as far I can see.

I've got the tools running and working, in a fashion. However, I'm
unable to find information about initial setup, such as creating the
needed files like shadow and gshadow. I've gotten things to work by
creating a shadow file by hand, but don't know the format for the
gshadow file.

I tried using mkpasswd on nshadow and npasswd after doing a pwconv,
but this created only empty files.

How do I create complete files in the proper formats?
