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 dis-
carded, 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 system password file.
