command used to synchronize changes done in /etc/passwd to
/etc/shadow file?

Answer Posted / hyma

If /etc/shadow file is correpted we need to use pwconv'
command it is automatically recovered.

If /etc/passwd file is correpted we have copy of passwd
file as 'opasswd'. We need to copy that file.

#cp -p /etc/opasswd /etc/passwd
