There is this * in the password field of the shadow file for certain

I know that the ! is to indicate a locked account but what does a * mean?
My understanding is that anything in that field that is not a valid

and '*' are simply 2 different conventions indicating the same thing.
Yeah, apparently * is used on BSD systems instead of !.
So the pam code? probably just accepts either now.
