-<sect2><title>Configuring Shadow Password Suite</title>

-<para>
-This package contains the utilities to modify user's passwords, add new
-users/groups, delete users/groups and more. I'm not going to explain to you
-what 'password shadowing' means. You can read all about that in the doc/HOWTO
-file within the unpacked shadow password suite's source tree. There's one
-thing you should keep in mind, if you decide to use shadow support, that
-programs that need to verify passwords (examples are xdm, ftp daemons,
-pop3 daemons, etc) need to be 'shadow-compliant', eg. they need to
-be able to work with shadow'ed passwords.
-</para>

-<para>
-Shadow'ed passwords are not enabled by default. Simply installing the
-shadow password suite does not enable shadow'ed passwords.
-</para>
-
-<para>
-Now is a very good moment to read chapter 5 of the doc/HOWTO file. You can
-read how you can enable shadow'ed passwords, how to test whether shadowing
-works and if not, how to disable it again.

-The documentation mentions something about the creation of npasswd and
-nshadow after you run pwconv. This is an error in the documentation.
-Those two files will be be created. After you run pwconv, /etc/passwd
-will no longer contain the passwords and /etc/shadow will. You don't
-need to rename the npasswd and nshadow files yourself.
