I got the same response from people after adding shadow passwd to SLS.
People, welcome to unix. Your first source of documentation is the
README's etc. From there proceed directly to the man pages.
I found term documentation to be, like shadow passwd documentation,
very good. The only thing missing was a neon sign saying "look here, look here".
On the constructive side, I am working on a "tenderfoot" doc for new
users to accompany SLS. It should tell them things like the above.
