The Hurd doesn't know shadow passwords yet, so you'll have to merge them back into the passwd file if you want to login to one of those accounts.

If you have a recent ext2fsutils (>= version 1.10, I believe), then you can safely run fsck on your Hurd partition. Older versions will clobber all your translators, which will disrupt your Hurd boot process. -- Gordon Matzigkeit <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> //\ I'm a FIG (http://www.fig.org/) Lovers of freedom, unite! \// I use GNU (http://www.gnu.org/)
