Shadow Passwords - Cyclades AlterPath ACS Command Reference Manual

Authentication

3.6 Shadow Passwords

The default /etc/passwd file has the user "root" with password "tslinux". You should
change the password for user "root" as soon as possible.
The AlterPath ACS has support for Shadow Passwords, which enhances the security of
the system authentication files.
For ACS release 2.6, Shadow Passwords are enabled by default. If you are upgrading from
release 2.3.0-2 (or earlier), a previous configuration is detected and the translation from
/etc/passwd to /etc/shadow happens automatically.
