Linux pwconv Command
The Linux pwconv command is used to enable shadow passwords for users.
In Linux systems, user and group passwords are stored in files named passwd and group, respectively, which are located in the /etc directory. Since these files need to be readable by anyone for system operation, they pose a security risk. Shadow passwords move the passwords within these files to the shadow and gshadow files in the /etc directory, allowing only system administrators to read them. Additionally, the original passwords are replaced with the character "x," effectively enhancing the system's security.
Syntax
pwconv
Example
Enable shadow passwords for users
