   64: 2. enter the system command, as "root", grpunconv
   65: 3. Set the following to be the /etc/pam.d/login file on your system
   66: #%PAM-1.0
   67: auth       required     /lib/security/pam_securetty.so
   68: auth       required     /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so shadow nullok
   69: auth       required     /lib/security/pam_nologin.so
   70: account    required     /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so
   71: password   required     /lib/security/pam_cracklib.so
   72: password   required     /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so nullok use_authtok

   81: 5. Set/reset passwords.  As "root" use 'passwd', and 'passwd www'

   83: passwords in /etc/passwd.
