pwconvert?

[Walters, Mark]

Hi everyone,
I have a linux box running RHE 4.  When doing a pwconvert with the 
passwd file, the shadow file comes out all mixed up and
wrong.  Has anyone experienced any troubles with pwconvert?  Many thanks

in advance.
Paula

Hi-

You might try running  # pwck on it to check the /etc/passwd file
integrity-  

(# man pwck for more info)
