Description Rogelio Noriega 2001-03-29 17:20:01 UTC 
Problem: If "useradd" "adduser" is used with "-p" creates password 
in /etc/shadow as readable text. does not encrypt the password prior to 
adding to /etc/shadow.

Result: User cannot log in because password is un-hasshed

"linuxconf" and "passwd" work fine.
Comment 1 Bill Nottingham 2001-03-29 17:32:03 UTC 
Please see the manpage:

       -p passwd
              The encrypted password, as returned by crypt(3).  The default
              is to disable the account.
