Ok...easy enough. You DO need to enable C2 security...but there is an option to
ONLY add the shadow passwd functionality (I just used Sysman to change the
security settings). I've done this on a test machine, and everything seems OK
so far. Now it's time to read the secconfig man page. Thanks to the fast
