- When I installed .99, several things didn't get updated (not enough
- disks). anyway, my question is, now when I log in on any user that
- I created, rather than the ones that the SLS install set up, I get
- a "No Shadow Password" warning message. What are shadow passwords,
- and how do you use them?
-
- Please email me, as I didn't see the answer last time I posted
- this, if anyone responded.
