I believe that Linux does not use a shadow password system (the encrypted
password is in the /etc/passwd file). as root, do the following:
# # add three colons after between group-id and geos info
# awk -F: 'BEGIN{OFS=":"} {print $1,$2,$3,"::",$4,$5,$6,$7}' < /etc/Linux_passwd > /etc/master.passwd
# # rebuild the database files and builds the /etc/passwd file
# /usr/sbin/pwd_mkdb -p
--mark.
