NAME

pwunconv — convert passwords from shadow to nonshadow

SYNOPSIS

/usr/sbin/pwunconv

DESCRIPTION

The pwunconv command transfers the password and aging information for all users from /etc/shadow to /etc/passwd. The /etc/shadow file is removed.

Some of the aging information may be lost during the conversion; the warn and expire fields are discarded, while min, max, and lstchg are rounded from days to weeks.

Notes

HP recommends that you run pwck before running pwunconv. See pwck(1M).

FILES

/etc/passwd
