Blank lines and comment lines are ignored\&. Comments are introduced with a "#" pound sign and the pound sign must be the first non\-white character of the line\&.
+.PP
+Parameter values may be of four types: strings, booleans, numbers, and long numbers\&. A string is comprised of any printable characters\&. A boolean should be either the value
+\fIyes\fR
+or
+\fIno\fR\&. An undefined boolean parameter or one with a value other than these will be given a

+\fIyes\fR

+.SH "NAME"
+shadow \- shadowed password file
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.PP
+
+shadow
+is a file which contains the password information for the system\*(Aqs accounts and optional aging information\&.
+.PP
+This file must not be readable by regular users if password security is to be maintained\&.
+.PP
+Each line of this file contains 9 fields, separated by colons (\(lq:\(rq), in the following order:
+.PP
+\fBlogin name\fR
+.RS 4
+It must be a valid account name, which exist on the system\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+\fBencrypted password\fR
+.RS 4
+Refer to
+\fBcrypt\fR(3)
+for details on how this string is interpreted\&.
+.sp
+If the password field contains some string that is not a valid result of
+\fBcrypt\fR(3), for instance ! or *, the user will not be able to use a unix password to log in (but the user may log in the system by other means)\&.
+.sp
+This field may be empty, in which case no passwords are required to authenticate as the specified login name\&. However, some applications which read the
+/etc/shadow
+file may decide not to permit any access at all if the password field is empty\&.
+.sp
+A password field which starts with a exclamation mark means that the password is locked\&. The remaining characters on the line represent the password field before the password was locked\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+\fBdate of last password change\fR
+.RS 4
+The date of the last password change, expressed as the number of days since Jan 1, 1970\&.
+.sp
+The value 0 has a special meaning, which is that the user should change her pasword the next time she will log in the system\&.
+.sp
+An empty field means that password aging features are disabled\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+\fBminimum password age\fR
+.RS 4
+The minimum password age is the number of days the user will have to wait before she will be allowed to change her password again\&.
+.sp
+An empty field and value 0 mean that there are no minimum password age\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+\fBmaximum password age\fR
+.RS 4
+The maximum password age is the number of days after which the user will have to change her password\&.
+.sp
+After this number of days is elapsed, the password may still be valid\&. The user should be asked to change her password the next time she will log in\&.
+.sp
+An empty field means that there are no maximum password age, no password warning period, and no password inactivity period (see below)\&.
+.sp
+If the maximum password age is lower than the minimum password age, the user cannot change her password\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+\fBpassword warning period\fR
+.RS 4
+The number of days before a password is going to expire (see the maximum password age above) during which the user should be warned\&.
+.sp
+An empty field and value 0 mean that there are no password warning period\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+\fBpassword inactivity period\fR
+.RS 4
+The number of days after a password has expired (see the maximum password age above) during which the password should still be accepted (and the user should update her password during the next login)\&.
+.sp
+After expiration of the password and this expiration period is elapsed, no login is possible using the current user\*(Aqs password\&. The user should contact her administrator\&.
+.sp
+An empty field means that there are no enforcement of an inactivity period\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+\fBaccount expiration date\fR
+.RS 4
+The date of expiration of the account, expressed as the number of days since Jan 1, 1970\&.
+.sp
+Note that an account expiration differs from a password expiration\&. In case of an acount expiration, the user shall not be allowed to login\&. In case of a password expiration, the user is not allowed to login using her password\&.
+.sp
+An empty field means that the account will never expire\&.
+.sp
+The value 0 should not be used as it is interpreted as either an account with no expiration, or as an expiration on Jan 1, 1970\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+\fBreserved field\fR

+This field is reserved for future use\&.

+\fB/etc/suauth\fR
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.PP
+The file
+/etc/suauth
+is referenced whenever the su command is called\&. It can change the behaviour of the su command, based upon:
+.sp
+.if n \{\
+.RS 4
+.\}
+.nf
+ 1) the user su is targetting
+
+.fi
+.if n \{\
+.RE
+.\}
+.PP
+2) the user executing the su command (or any groups he might be a member of)
+.PP
+The file is formatted like this, with lines starting with a # being treated as comment lines and ignored;
+.sp
+.if n \{\
+.RS 4
+.\}
+.nf
+ to\-id:from\-id:ACTION
+
+.fi
+.if n \{\
+.RE
+.\}
+.PP
+Where to\-id is either the word
+\fIALL\fR, a list of usernames delimited by "," or the words
+\fIALL EXCEPT\fR
+followed by a list of usernames delimited by ","\&.
+.PP
+from\-id is formatted the same as to\-id except the extra word
+\fIGROUP\fR
+is recognised\&.
+\fIALL EXCEPT GROUP\fR
+is perfectly valid too\&. Following
+\fIGROUP\fR
+appears one or more group names, delimited by ","\&. It is not sufficient to have primary group id of the relevant group, an entry in
+\fB/etc/group\fR(5)
+is neccessary\&.
+.PP
+Action can be one only of the following currently supported options\&.
+.PP
+\fIDENY\fR
+.RS 4
+The attempt to su is stopped before a password is even asked for\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+\fINOPASS\fR
+.RS 4
+The attempt to su is automatically successful; no password is asked for\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+\fIOWNPASS\fR
+.RS 4
+For the su command to be successful, the user must enter his or her own password\&. They are told this\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+Note there are three separate fields delimited by a colon\&. No whitespace must surround this colon\&. Also note that the file is examined sequentially line by line, and the first applicable rule is used without examining the file further\&. This makes it possible for a system administrator to exercise as fine control as he or she wishes\&.
+.SH "EXAMPLE"
+.sp
+.if n \{\
+.RS 4
+.\}
+.nf
+ # sample /etc/suauth file
+ #
+ # A couple of privileged usernames may
+ # su to root with their own password\&.
+ #
+ root:chris,birddog:OWNPASS
+ #
+ # Anyone else may not su to root unless in
+ # group wheel\&. This is how BSD does things\&.
+ #
+ root:ALL EXCEPT GROUP wheel:DENY
+ #
+ # Perhaps terry and birddog are accounts
+ # owned by the same person\&.
+ # Access can be arranged between them
+ # with no password\&.

+.SH "BUGS"
+.PP
+There could be plenty lurking\&. The file parser is particularly unforgiving about syntax errors, expecting no spurious whitespace (apart from beginning and end of lines), and a specific token delimiting different things\&.
