You can do this by these 5 steps:
+1. enter the system command, as "root", pwunconv
+2. enter the system command, as "root", grpunconv
+3. Set the following to be the /etc/pam.d/login file on your system
+#%PAM-1.0
+auth required /lib/security/pam_securetty.so
+auth required /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so shadow nullok
+auth required /lib/security/pam_nologin.so

+5. Set/reset passwords. As "root" use 'passwd', and 'passwd www'
+to change the important passwords. This creates crypt-processible
+passwords in /etc/passwd.

to see if your machine has been successfully set up.
