Hi Chris, I was looking at the patches that Debian carries for shadow, and found a horrible-looking manual page. Here's a new year present for you. :)
I see that you generate it from the XML, but I hate those generated pages, and since you're already downstream, you probably don't need that. I guess you can handle the man(7) page directly. I'm not good at using quilt, so I didn't try editing the quilt patch. Instead, I provide you with the source code below. In case you want a git commit to transform it into a quilt patch, you can get this page from my server: <https://www.alejandro-colomar.es/src/alx/shadow/alx/shadow.git/commit/?h=shadowconfig_man> Have a lovely new year! Alex Here goes the page: .TH shadowconfig 8 2025-01-01 "Debian shadow-utils" .SH Name shadowconfig \- toggle shadow passwords on and off . . .SH Synopsis .SY shadowconfig .BR on | off .YS . . .SH Description .I shadowconfig\ on will turn shadow passwords on. .P .I shadowconfig\ off will turn shadow passwords off. . . .SH Errors .B shadowconfig will print an error message and exit with a nonzero code if it finds anything awry. If that happens, you should correct the error and run it again. Turning shadow passwords on when they are already on, or off when they are already off, is harmless. . . .SH Caveats Turning shadow passwords off and on again will lose all password aging information. . . .SH See also Read .I /usr/share/doc/passwd/README.Debian for a brief introduction to shadow passwords and related features. -- <https://www.alejandro-colomar.es/>
