These programs can be used for initial conversion as well to update the shadowed file if the main file is edited by hand\&. -.PP - -\fBpwconv\fR -will use the values of -\fIPASS_MIN_DAYS\fR, -\fIPASS_MAX_DAYS\fR, and -\fIPASS_WARN_AGE\fR -from -/etc/login\&.defs -when adding new entries to -/etc/shadow\&. -.PP -Likewise -\fBpwunconv\fR -and -\fBgrpunconv\fR -are similar\&.
