     Each entry in the shadow file has the form:

               username:password:lastchg:           min:max:warn:
               inactive:expire:flag

     The fields are defined as follows:

     username  The user's login name (UID).

     password  A 13-character encrypted password for the user,  a
               lock  string  to  indicate  that  the login is not
               accessible, or no string, which shows  that  there
               is no password for the login.

     lastchg   The number of days between January  1,  1970,  and
               the date that the password was last modified.
