   <p>Is your system using shadow passwords? (Note: LON-CAPA will
   work with either MD5/non-MD5 configured systems).  If your
   system is not using shadow passwords, then do not perform
   any of the additional steps.  If your system is using shadow
   passwords, then you will need to perform the additional steps below.

   <p>
   <strong>How to detect:</strong>
   <br />command: <tt>cat /etc/passwd | grep ':x:'</tt>
   </p>
   <p>If there is output such as "<tt>root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash</tt>",
   then your system is using shadow passwords and you will need to continue with
   the steps below.
