do switch form shadow passwds to un-shadowed passwds you need to replace several files, including: /etc/passwd and bins: passwd, chfn, chsh, login, etc... basically anything that calls to open the passwd file for purposes of authentication will need to be replaced with its un-shadowed counterpart... zens On Tue, 8 Sep 1998 drew@adapco.com wrote:

I am running xi graphics' cde and my passwords are served by an NIS server. cde seems to have some trouble with the shadow passwords and won't let anybody login other than root. Does anybody know how to remove shadow passwords and start using normal passwd?
