Would someone either tell me or point me towards a FAQ on shadow 
passwords?  I'd like too know what exactly they are and how I implement 
them on my Linux box.  I've beenm using Linux for about a year now, so 
I'm not entirely green.  Last time I checked, there wasn't a Security or 
Shadow HOWTO.  Thanks for your help.
