From: HCELINE@yabbs To: all@yabbs Subject: Shadowd PW files: Date: Wed Jan 12 03:08:12 1994 OKay, first off, I'm new here, But forget introductions. There has recently been alot of talk about Shadowd Password files, on multiple nets I'm on. Personally, I have never been on a systems with one. Of course, I spend most of my time on VAX, and DEC Servers, with a touch of AMOS thrown in. Can someone throw down info on the Shadowed Password file, such as the differences between SPWF (Shadowed Password Files) and the common ones found in etc/pw. I am clueless when it comes to most inner working of unix, so the help would be appriciated. If anyone needs help with VAX, I'm perfectly willing to help. Hagbard Celine [ELF]
