/etc/passwd.rpmnew changes "x" to "*"

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



What would be the effect of changing the password field in "/etc/passwd" from "x" to "*"?  I noticed I have an "/etc/passwd.rpmnew" file which changes the password of many service accounts from "x" to "*".  I am wondering if I should merge those changes into my "/etc/passwd" file.
