PWCONV(8)               Comandi per la gestione del si               PWCONV(8)

NOME
       pwconv, pwunconv, grpconv, grpunconv - convertono a e da password e
       gruppi shadow.

SINOSSI
       pwconv [opzioni]

       pwunconv [opzioni]

       grpconv [opzioni]

       grpunconv [opzioni]

DESCRIZIONE
       The pwconv command creates shadow from passwd and an optionally
       existing shadow.

       The pwunconv command creates passwd from passwd and shadow and then
       removes shadow.

       The grpconv command creates gshadow from group and an optionally
       existing gshadow.

       The grpunconv command creates group from group and gshadow and then
       removes gshadow.

       These four programs all operate on the normal and shadow password and
       group files: /etc/passwd, /etc/group, /etc/shadow, and /etc/gshadow.

       Each program acquires the necessary locks before conversion.  pwconv
       and grpconv are similar. First, entries in the shadowed file which
       don't exist in the main file are removed. Then, shadowed entries which
       don't have `x' as the password in the main file are updated. Any
       missing shadowed entries are added. Finally, passwords in the main file
       are replaced with `x'. These programs can be used for initial
       conversion as well to update the shadowed file if the main file is
       edited by hand.

       pwconv will use the values of PASS_MIN_DAYS, PASS_MAX_DAYS, and
       PASS_WARN_AGE from /etc/login.defs when adding new entries to
       /etc/shadow.

       Likewise pwunconv and grpunconv are similar. Passwords in the main file
       are updated from the shadowed file. Entries which exist in the main
       file but not in the shadowed file are left alone. Finally, the shadowed
       file is removed. Some password aging information is lost by pwunconv.
       It will convert what it can.

OPZIONI
       The options which apply to the pwconv, pwunconv, grpconv, and grpunconv
       commands are:

       -h, --help
           Mostra un messaggio di aiuto ed esce.

       -R, --root CHROOT_DIR
           Apply changes in the CHROOT_DIR directory and use the configuration
           files from the CHROOT_DIR directory. Only absolute paths are
           supported.

ERRORI
       Errors in the password or group files (such as invalid or duplicate
       entries) may cause these programs to loop forever or fail in other
       strange ways. Please run pwck and grpck to correct any such errors
       before converting to or from shadow passwords or groups.

CONFIGURAZIONE
       The following configuration variable in /etc/login.defs changes the
       behavior of grpconv and grpunconv:
