PWUNCONV(8)                                           PWUNCONV(8)

NAME
       pwunconv  - restore old password file from shadow password
       file

SYNOPSIS
       pwunconv

DESCRIPTION
       Pwunconv copies the password  file  information  from  the
       shadow  password  file,  merging  entries from an optional
       existing shadow file.  The new password file  is  left  in
       npasswd.  This file is created with modes which allow read
       access for the owner only.  There is no new  shadow  file.
       Password  aging  information is translated where possible.
       There is some loss of resolution  in  the  password  aging
       information.

FILES
       /etc/passwd - old encrypted passwords and password aging
       /etc/shadow - previously converted shadow password file

SEE ALSO
