NAME
       unshadow - combines passwd and shadow files

SYNOPSIS
       unshadow password-file shadow-file

DESCRIPTION
       This  manual page documents briefly the unshadow command, which is part
       of the john package.  This manual  page	was  written  for  the	Debian
       GNU/Linux  distribution	because	 the  original program does not have a
       manual page.  john, better known as John the Ripper, is a tool to  find
       weak passwords of users in a server.

       The  unshadow tool combines the passwd and shadow files so John can use
       them. You might need this since if you only used your shadow file,  the
       GECOS information wouldn't be used by the "single crack" mode, and also
       you wouldn't be able to use the '-shells' option. On  a	normal	system
       you'll need to run unshadow as root to be able to read the shadow file.

SEE ALSO
       john(8), mailer(8), unafs(8), unique(8).

       The programs are documented fully by John's documentation, which should
       be available in /usr/share/doc/john or  other  location,	 depending  on
       your system.
