On my Redhat 4.2 system I decided to switch to shadow passwords.  So I
typed

pwconv5

Only thing is, I didn't switch to /etc first like the online 4.2
manual at RedHat's web site says to do.

Everything seems all right, but have I unknowingly exposed my system
to all kinds of crackers, or something?

And what if I were to run pwconv5 twice?

Curious,
