_Description: Enable shadow passwords?
The Linux Standard Base requires that certain features of adduser(8)
be available to conforming applications (such as password
aging). These features are only provided when shadow passwords are
enabled, while this system has them disabled.
.
Most LSB applications will work fine with either setting, but complete
conformance requires shadow passwords to be enabled.
.
Generally speaking, it is considered good practice to enable shadow
passwords. However, there are some situations in which shadow passwords
may not work properly (most notably, if non-root users need to
check passwords against /etc/passwd).
